Good morning, all. This'll be my first post here, and I'm a new Nagios user having inherited a setup, so be gentle ;-) I've been reading books (Barth's, Turnbull's, Kocjan's, and Josephsen's), and am slowly getting an understanding of how things work.
One issue that I am having problems with is how to set up the timeperiods for a rotating on-call staff. I've been reading sites (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/oncallrotation.html) (http://tech.ebusinessjuncture.com/2009/10/nagios-example-of-how-to-make-an-oncall-rotation/) I think I understand it, but since none of the books I have seem to detail this I figured I would ask here. To set up a rotation for three admins to be on-call one week each, I would need to define the timeperiods for each admin as such: <<example date>> / 21 00:00-24:00 Then I specify out a full week's worth of entries, with the "/ 21" after it to specify that it repeats every 21 days, correct? I think I then would specify the other two admins' timeperiods to follow this, specifying appropriate start dates and the "/ 21" modifier. I think that's right. I am sure my search terms for this were incorrect, but if someone wouldn't mind pointing me in the direction of some good resources for this, I would greatly appreciate it! And now, back to the books. Thanks! ~~Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
