howto ignore "down" hosts

[Kimberly McKinnis]

I believe you want to 'schedule downtime', which you set for a specific
period of time. 

What I'm confused on is you said... if it comes up, and you want no
notifications, but when it comes up *again*, you do? If a host is down,
the service checks, by default, won't alert.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
