Question regarding notifications and time periods

[Anthony Brock]

We've recently discussed narrowing our notification windows for Nagios. At present, we're using a 24x7 for all pagers and email. However, some of our users would like us to narrow this to a 5:30am - 9pm window.

However, we now have a question concerning how the notifications during a "blackout" period are handled. My assumption is that, during a 3:30am outage, Nagios will simply ignore the "blacked" out users. However, some are concerned that Nagios will instead "save" the notifications until 5:30.

What is the actual behavior? I can setup a small test specifically for this question. However, I thought I ask here first. Thanks!

Tony
