Host Downtime view
Use this view to display and schedule host and service downtimes, and
disable notifications during periods when target hosts and services are down.
Scheduled downtimes are generally periods of planned outage. You can also
schedule downtime for a host or service that is already down.
Note: The only effect of a scheduled downtime is to suppress sending
notifications; in particular, services are
not disabled during
downtimes.
Since services are not disabled during downtimes, scheduling a downtime for
a host also schedules equivalent downtimes for all its services. When a host is
down, its service checks fail, causing the host itself to be checked. A detected
host failure leads to a single notification about host being down; no service
notifications are produced. If the host is scheduled for a downtime, host
notification is suppressed; no notifications are sent.
Scheduled downtimes are preserved across PCC shutdowns and restarts.
