Setting up Notification in Centreon - Some questions.

[tortakva]

Hello there. I'm just wondering, is it possible to make Nagios/Centreon2 to queue up mail, and then send it at a given time? E.g I don't want my alerts to be sent at night, but all those messages i want to be sent at 08:00 the following day.

Why just send them at 8? If the messages do not interest you, just make a time period without the night and do not send notification during it.

The purpose was to queue the critical and/or warning messages from the night, and send them at between 8 and 9. As I understand the notification in Nagios; if there is no timeperiod for a given time, all the notification is dropped, or not sent.

I'm just wondering if it is possible :)

I don't think this is possible easily. You can write a notification script that write notifications to file and a cron job that send the notifications at 8, but it's not very easy.

Ok.

Thanks anyway :-)

I found a way to do it:

Add a notification message with your selected info (by using the macros) and then pipe it to a file.

Then I parse the file through a perl-script I made to sum up the identical messages, and send them via mail every day at 08:00 :)

hi,

I've got same problems.
I'm using sms notification, I don't want to be notified between 8pm and 8am but I want to be notified at 8am if one or more host is still down.

Could you post your perl script ?

(sorry if bad english).

Yes sure,

You should be able to do it, with the following steps:

A database where you can store information.
A cron like Naparuba adivices you at 8 o'clock.
and a script which send message to the database when it isn't work hours and directly send sms when you are in the 8 to 8 fork.
