event handlers and Schedule Downtime

[Menard, Chris]

Perfect, thanks.   I think I may for, for this weekend 'Disable Active Checks' on the service group.  Then get to updating my event handlers.

I have a scheduled host downtime setup for Sunday.  When I start to take services down, will event handlers still trigger and still try to restart what I want down?

Yes, if your event handlers are not written to consider scheduled downtime.


What is the easiest way to temporarily suspend event handlers?

Globally, enable_event_handlers nagios.cfg. Per service/host: event_handler_enabled in the definition.

However I would recommend you to use the $HOSTDOWNTIME$ and $SERVICEDOWNTIME$ macros in your event handler definitions. If these macros are non-zero, the service/host is in scheduled downtime. This will allow you to have your event handlers decide how to proceed - maybe you'd like a different action to be taken when there's scheduled downtime.

Thanks,
Chris
