I'm running Nagios 3.06.
If I have a host definition as follows:
define host {
host_name FOO
address FOO
...
notification_period period_1 # let's
say it's everyday but Monday
}
and then
define service {
host_name FOO
service_desciption BAR
...
notification_period period_2 # let's say it's
everyday but Tuesday
}
If service "BAR" fails on Tuesday, it's clear that it would trigger a
notification. If service "BAR" fails on a Monday, would it still send
an alert? That is, does the host's notification_period matter at all
for the service sending a notification?
I thought I'd understood that if the host was in a period of scheduled
downtime that that would effectively block the service notification, but
I thought that while very similar, scheduled downtime wasn't the same as
a limited notification_period.
I'm trying to setup recurring downtime windows using
notification_periods which works traditionally. However, it's somewhat
more of a pain if I have to track down each host's services (there's a
lot of overlap) and specify the same notification_period for each
service. It's much easier to just indicate that for the host (only).
Thanks
Mark
