FW: Timeperiods

[Nick]

That is one way of doing it, means changing 2 times per year for DST.


Is there a nagios "wish list" I can send this to and maybe in a future
version this can be programmed in.

Many thanks

Nick

I don't know if there is a better way to do this but what comes to  
mind first is to just create two different timeperiods and assign them  
to each contact. Assume one person and the nagios server are in CST  
and someone else is UTC --

define timeperiod{
	name			workhours-cst
	timeperiod_name		workhours-cst
	monday			09:00-17:00
	tuesday			09:00-17:00
	wednesday		09:00-17:00
	thursday		09:00-17:00
	friday			09:00-17:00
	}

define timeperiod{
	name			workhours-utc
	timeperiod_name		workhours-utc
	monday			14:00-22:00
	tuesday			14:00-22:00
	wednesday		14:00-22:00
	thursday		14:00-22:00
	friday			14:00-22:00
	}

You'd have to change the UTC guy 2x a year to deal with DST time  
changes if you honor that in your timezone. There are much more  
complex time definitions you could create that could deal with DST if  
you wanted.

Depends a lot on hardware you're running it on and the types of checks  
you are using. You'll hit some points where you'll probably need to  
change your way of doing things (i.e. at ~10,000 active checks you  
might need to start looking at moving those to passive checks), etc.  
There are others on the list running instances with many 10's of  
thousands of checks that might be able to offer insight into those  
kinds of things. If you expect to grow large, I'd recommend starting  
out with a simple distributed setup and expand as needed.
