Pay special attention to SCHEDULE_HOSTGROUP_HOST_DOWNTIME Alternatively, I wrote a php script to handle scheduling downtime for things that can't be done via the web interface: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Downtimes.38.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_vi ew]=628 (broken HTML link, be sure to get both lines) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Miller Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 1:24 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Scheduling downtime for groups of hosts? Nagios 2.5 running on debian stable. Packages came from the backport collection. If I have a group of a dozen web servers, is there a way to schedule downtime for all of them? I read about triggered downtime in the docs: *_Triggered Downtime_* When scheduling host or service downtime you have the option of making it "triggered" downtime. What is triggered downtime, you ask? With triggered downtime the start of the downtime is triggered by the start of some other scheduled host or service downtime. This is extremely useful if you're scheduling downtime for a large number or hosts or services and the start time of the downtime period depends on the start time of another downtime entry. For instance, if you schedule flexible downtime for a particular host (because its going down for maintenance), you might want to schedule triggered downtime for all of that hosts's "children". .... but I don't have a natural parent for the group that isn't also parent to a lot of things that I need to keep monitoring. Entering a hostgroup name instead of a hostname gives this message: "Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command." This is being run by the nagiosadmin user with no restrictions placed on it. Ideas? Thanks, --- David ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys.
