[Nagios-users] Monitoring in different time periods
Currently I'm using the default 24x7 time for monitoring. We have a support group in India where we want to shift monitoring there during off hours. Since service definition is currently using 24x7, would I have to create separate services for each time period since the notifications would go to two different groups? What is the best way to accomplish this? - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

If I understood the manual right, than a notification will only be sent to an contact if it's in the timeperiod defined for this contact. Have a look at [0]. Keep in mind that you have to set the timeperiods of the indian group according to the timezone your nagios-server is in.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring in different time periods
I understand the first part about adding all to the same contact groups.
The second part I can't see how they would have their own hours, unless
I have a separate service defined? For example if I have this (below)
what line(s) would I need to add/modify? I'm thinking I would have to
have a different service defined for each check/notification period?
define service{
use generic-service
host_name servername
service_description Free Space on /
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval5
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsu,r
check_command check_nrpe!check_root
}

Hi,
You can simply add both India and non-India users to the same contact
groups you're currently using. India team will have their notification
timeperiod set to their working hours whereas the other team would have
the remaining hours as their notification timeperiod.

You don't need multiple service checks, you need multiple contact
groups.
Group 1 - Hours 9-5
Group 2 - Hours 5-9
Thanks,
Karl

No, I assume what you actually want is to: 1/ Monitor the service 24x7 2/ For India working hours, notify India 3/ For remaining hours, notify someone else So, define single service, two contact groups and for India group members configure them for Indiaworkinghours time period and for someone else configure them for a timeperiod defining remaining hours. Then if a problem comes in during Indiaworkinghours, India staff will get the message.

Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring in different time periods
Ok I understand now. I'm looking at this in the wrong place. I'm thinking I need to modify the actual services, (which I will have to to some extent) though the solution is in the contacts and timeperiods cfg. I just stumbled across p.234 of the manual on adding the host/service notification_period. It makes sense now. -Original Message- From: Wojciech Kocjan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 3:24 PM To: Seth Simmons; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring in different time periods On Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:12:21 +0200, Seth Simmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I understand the first part about adding all to the same contact groups.
