Hi,
I want to have different check_periods for different hosts for some common services.
For example, below I have given the service definition applicabale for several hosts:
common-for-hosts.cfg:
Code:
define service{
use generic-service
name my-service
hostgroup_name my-hosts
}
define service{
use my-service
service_description A common service
check_command check_nrpe!check_system_memory
}
And below are two hosts (for example):
host1.cfg:
Code:
define host{
use linux-server
host_name host1
address host1.mydomain.com
hostgroups my-hosts
check_period officehours
}
define service{
<host specific check(s)>
}
host2.cfg:
Code:
define host{
use linux-server
host_name host2
address host2.mydomain.com
hostgroups my-hosts
}
define service{
<host specific check(s)>
}
What I expect here is that the memory check service to be run only during office hours for hos1 and 24x7 for host2, as I have defined the check_period for the host1. But what happens is that only the host check ie whether the host is alive or not is done during office hours; but the services are tried 24x7.
On page
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3...ions.html#host
the explanation for check_period reads as
Quote:
|
check_period: This directive is used to specify the short name of the time period during which active checks of this host can be made.

If this is not the correct way, can somebody please teach me do it in the correct way?
Please let me know if you have any questions in this regard.
Thanks
