Command Interface view, where you provide the start and end times for the
downtime, and some identifying information (host, service, you, comment) –
see
External Command Interface , page 2-114.
Note: All fields in red, including Comment , are required. If you do not
enter a comment, you are informed simply that “an error
occurred while processing your command”.
To ensure that the start and end times you specify are respected exactly, turn
on the Fixed check box. When this is turned off , the scheduled downtime is
flexible: it starts between the start and end times as soon as a problem is
detected (
UNREACHABLE or DOWN status value for a host, non- OK for a
service); the downtime then lasts for the
Duration you specify. ( Duration is
ignored for
Fixed downtime.)
After scheduling a downtime, a snore icon ( ) appears next to the host or
service entry in various views, such as
Host Status Details and Service Status
Details
.
Reenabling Notifications by Deleting Scheduled Downtimes
You can reenable suppressed notifications by by deleting a scheduled
downtime. You do this by clicking the wastebasket icon ( ) in the
Actions
column. This displays the
External Command Interface view, where you confirm
the deletion.
