Downtime for ALL hosts and services on system?

[Ben Polson]

Excellent points.  I generally don't do maintenance on every single
monitored server so I've set up simple group disabling scripts for blocks of
servers based on our various environments.

You mentioned your nfs mount scripts and I am wondering what kind of tests
you run to verify these mounts.  I'm in the process of writing my own nfs
mount check currently, but would prefer to not have to go through this if
there's already one available out there.  Did you write this yourself, or
have I missed something in my Googleing?  Thanks!

  Because it's sloppy, and if you schedule downtime you can actually watch
what's happening through nagios as things go up and down, and verify
everything is up during the window.



  I have nfs mount scripts that it's always nice to verify are actually up
before having messages start flying off again. Especially when people
outside of IT get messages.



  I wrote a perl script to schedule downtime. I used a bash script on
nagiosexchange.org to base the idea on, and it's been extremely helpful for
every downtime since.

  Why not just stop nagios if you want to stop monitoring/alerting
everything during the window?

    We sometimes do a weekend maintenance of all systems being monitored.
Instead of having to add a downtime for each and every host and service,
does anyone know of a good way or has written a good plugin to schedule
downtime for all hosts and services?



    Maybe a list of all hosts and services with checkboxes and a time input
widget?



    I may try to write something to do this, but I don't want to duplicate
effort.



    Thanks
