We’ve got a strange problem here we can’t quite figure out. We’ve got a bunch of systems that do automatic restarts late at night, and since we know it’s scheduled, I’ve used the scheduled downtime scripts to automatically insert downtime for these hosts to cover the reboots. It works for most of them, but a few still alert out on one service or another. I’ve also added explicit downtimes for those services, but that seems not to suppress the alerts either.<o:p></o:p> It was my understanding that a system in scheduled downtime wouldn’t alert at all. That’s not what’s happening. We’re getting both down and then up pages from within the downtime window. Is there a reason this might be happening, and more importantly, any thoughts on how to stop it?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> ----------------------------------------------------------------- Christopher P.
