I recall that $LASTHOSTSTATECHANGE$ only worked to indicate the
previous
working period on a down message but the up message showed a bogus
counter (being 0 or close to zero). So that variable is not that
usefull.
That would be an order-of-operations bug then, IMHO. The variables
should not be updated before a notification is sent or they do become
useless. You know by the fact that you received a recovery
notification that it just changed to an OK state. I can't explicitly
test this since I don't use host checks and I'm not using 3.x yet.
I for one would not care about how long the UP period was but I do
care
about the DOWN period. But I have not yet found a way to add it to the
report.
Assuming that the above macro works as advertised, it would be trivial
--
notification command {
echo ...\n Duration of downtime was $$((`/bin/date +%s` - $LASTHOSTUP
$)) seconds, starting around `/bin/date -d '1970-01-01 UTC $LASTHOSTUP
$ sec'` | mail -s ...

[Nagios-users] elapsed down time
I want to include the elapsed time from the host down alert to the Notification Type: RECOVERY. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net 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
