timzones

[John Lemon]

Hello Nick,

	I did a patch sometime ago to add timezone support to Nagios.
Was for Nagios RC2 (so a bit old)

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.devel/4894/match=timezone

Patch worked OK, for a small number of timezones, but if you are using
it just for contact checks it should work fine.(if it works with check
Nagios release).

I have done a re-code for better performance but it's not ready just it.
Time permitting in the next week or so I will finish the new version.

Is this sort of idea you were thinking of?

Thanks
John

1 country) the USA  and a few of others

I'm not a programmer   so was hoping those that can will read this and
act

If you mean the sendSMS.sh script from foxbox, then you can use it  
with NoMa too -
the advantage is that you can log the failed sends and optionally  
escalate
to Mail or Voice.

i agree it would be a handy feature, especially if checks could also  
be scheduled
in localtime - I would use the standard system Timezone support though.
Anyway, this is the developer list -> get coding and create a  
patch!!! ;-)

you make it sound so easy... in my experience it's a lot more complex  
- countries
have a habit of changing aroung their DST changeovers on a whim.
I'm thinking here particularly of Western Australia.
