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.<o:p></o:p> </div> <blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt; margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'> Thanks, Chris (Nagios 3.1.2 in Solaris) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. <a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com" target="_blank">http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com</a> _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</a> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null<o:p></o:p> </blockquote> </div> -- Martin Melin ____________________________ op5 AB <a href="http://www.op5.com">http://www.op5.com</a> <a href="http://www.op5.org/">http://www.op5.org/</a> <a href="http://www.op5.com/op5/products/network-monitor/nagios/">http://www.op5.com/op5/products/network-monitor/nagios/</a> <o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
