Exclude Notifications during certian hours

[Andrew Thompson]

Hi all,

I have all my servers (approx. 70) monitored by PING using the 24x7 time period and notifications set to 24x7.
Im happy with this as I want to know when my servers go down at all times as a lot are critical and under strict SLA's.

However I have the need to exclude notifications for 1 physical host and 6 virtual hosts that sit on this physical host during the hours of 00:30-06:30 every night.
These machines are not under any SLA and often reboot during the night for various reasons and I'm done with waking up at all hours for these non-critical servers!

What is the quickest way for me to exclude these 7 hosts from notifying during these hours whilst leaving all other servers at 24x7?

Ive had a read the nagios docs but it didn't really help me as I didn't really understand it.

I have edited my server.cfg to show the scenario I want to achieve and that can be found at the link below.

The layout etc is identical to my live configs,  I have just edited the number of hosts/names/contacts etc (the 3 hosts named NOT CRITICAL are the example for the "7 hosts" I first talked about)

What is the quickest and most effective way for me to keep checking ALL my servers 24x7 and notifying 24x7, BUT exclude 7 particular servers from checks/notifications between 00:30-06:30 every night?

Thanks in advance for your help.
