Nagios only has features for either hostgroups and/or servicegroups but not a listing of nodes where users can pick and choose which hosts and services to enable/disable/downtime. You could always slap together a hostgroup that contains the hosts you want to put in downtime and reload the config. Alternatively, it probably wouldn't be hard to come up with a script that took a list of hosts (and maybe start/end times or durations) and submitted downtimes for those hosts via Nagios's external command interface. -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

You can select multiple hosts, hostgroups, services or servicegroups and issue commands for them if you like. I think it's only in the bleeding edge versions though (meaning in our git repositories, which are readable for anyone that wants to clone them).

Re: [Nagios-users] Escalate after X warnings or criticals
Does anyone know if the notification count problem got fixed in 3.2.1? I had a read of the ChangeLog but it doesn't mention anything related to this problem since 3.0.6. Cheers, Andrew On Mon, 2009-11-09 at 08:55, Neil Ramsay wrote: Hi Martin, The escalation_options don't take the state into consideration during the notification count. So if you have an escalate rule on the 4th notification and only escalate on Critical in the escalation_options then following scenario is can occur: You have 3 warning notifications and the 4th is Critical then it will escalate as there have been 4 notifications and a Critical. I posted a help request on this issue a week or two ago and would really like this to be patched or built into the next update. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/64997/match=escalation+state Cheers, Neil On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 12:56 AM, Martin Melin mme...@gmail.com wrote: The existing escalation_options directive in escalation definitions will likely get you this behavior without the need for a patch. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html - see the very bottom of this page as well as the object definition documentation for escalation_options. Regards, Martin Melin On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 3:49 AM, Mark Gius mg...@createspace.com wrote: Currently, service notifications contain first/last_notification directives, that specify the range of notifications that the escalation should apply to. This method of escalation has a weakness however. At my work, we let warnings go to the default contact (which happens to be email), and escalate to a pager chain on critical. However, if a service sits in WARNING for a length of time (which is likely to happen in the middle of the night), by the time the service enters a CRITICAL state the notification count exceeds our highest escalation, and our entire team gets paged immediately. What I'd like to see is the ability to distinguish between a WARNING notification and a CRITICAL notification in the escalation, and set up escalation chains that work based on the number of CRITICAL's that have been sent, as opposed to the total number of notifications. I am planning on patching nagios to support this behavior if there isn't a way to achieve this behavior with the current implementation. My plan is to add a warning/critical count to service, add a first/last warning/critical state to service escalations, and add the directives (first|last)_(warning|critical)_notification to the service escalation configs. The idea is also to keep the current behavior (notification_count and first/last_notification would still be present), but allow finer grained control over when escalations are sent out. This way if somebody didn't want to use the finer grained control their behavior would stay the same. My current plan is to match the escalation if _any_ of the 3 notification ranges match (all/warning/critical). Any advice on making this behavior happen with Nagios as-is, or suggestions/advice on the implementation are welcome. -Gius -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

If it hasn't, I'll be adding it myself and will be happy to submit my patches back. I've been needing this functionality for awhile, and was planning on rolling it in, in the next 2-3 months.
