If you have this problem again, please check the Nagios logs and post some more detail about it. I've noticed on earlier versions of Nagios you could sometimes get notifications through for hosts which were in downtime for a brief period following restart of the Nagios daemon.

[Nagios-users] downtime scheduling
When we schedule a downtime for a host does it mean it automatically schedules a downtime for its services also? I remember when we were patching our servers , we scheduled downtime for the entire hostgroup by selecting "schedule downtime for all host in this hostgroup". Inspite of it we still got alerts for few services under certail hosts. Should we select "schedule downtime for all the services in this hostgroup" ? Can some one explain me what this is all about and how does it work?

You probably have to rewrite 04:00-01:00 to 00:00-01:00,04:00-24:00.

Re: [Nagios-users] Downtime scheduling
I don't know that Nagios will treat that right. I think you need to specify a time between 00:00 and 23:59. I would try 00:00-00:59,04:00-23:59 instead of 04:00-01:00 Tal _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerad Riggin Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 3:05 PM To: Larry Low Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Downtime scheduling Thanks for the reply.

Timeperiods is the best idea. You can either use the notification_period or check_period depending on your end needs.

[Nagios-users] Downtime scheduling of Host/Service Groups
Hi all, Quick question: When I put a Host- or Servicegroup in downtime, Nagios generates a separate downtime/comment for each host or service within that group. When I want to remove this downtime for the whole group, I have to remove each line separately which is cumbersome. I can't imagine that this is the only way to do it, there must be an easier way I'm overlooking. What I want to be able to do is: schedule downtime for a group (say a servicegroup containing 20 services) and remove it in the same manner (ie as a group, not as 20 seperate removals that each need a few clicks). Is this possible, or does someone know a tool or workaround that does this?
