Hi Steve,
Thank you for your help..it is an excellent feature...and sorry to hear about your accident..hope you recover soon. I will wait for the downtime 3.0 version then.

Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Steve,
Did you have a chance to finish up the downtime 3.0?

Thanks,
Anthony

Hello Steve,

I'm also interested in downtime v3.0...
We currently use v2.2 with Nagios 2 but we plan to migrate to Nagios v3.2.

Do you think you'll soon be able to release downtime v3 ?

Thanks a lot and Happy new Year!

Version 3.0 is ready (and has been for several months) I just need ot pack it up and upload it. I've been delayed by a road acident and broken leg... I'll try to get it up there (nagiosexchange.org and here) today. Thanks for your patience...

Thanks for the 3.0 Steve. Happy New Year.

Many thanks too. Hope you recover soon.

I've ordered "Imaginiarium of Dr Parnassus" by way of thanks - I'm glad your wishlist reminded me as I'd like to see it too sometime. I missed it when it was in the cinemas. I've enjoyed most of Terry Gilliam's films, especially 12 Monkeys.

Hi Steve,

does "downtime" ver 3.0 support hosts without attached services? It's a Nagios 3.x feature we're using heavily for network monitoring and for some reason I get the "[NOT FOUND]"-error. I tried to track it down and got to the readobjects subroutine.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it only reads hostnames inside a service definition; pure host definitions aren't taken in consideration at all. Right?

Puzzeled,

Christian

I was not actually aware that Nagios now permits 'naked' hosts (IE with no services). The scripts do indeed make the assumption that you can identify all hosts by looking at the service lists... so naked hosts would appear as invalid.

This will need a bit more coding to correct; I don't have time to work on it now though, as new baby is imminent... This will have to stay in the wishlist until I have the time to work on it.

Of course, it is open source, so feel free to modify it yourself if you're a Perl coder... what needs to be done is for readobjects to also read host definitions, and add a hash entry for each one found if it doesnt already exist. The rest of the code uses 'keys' to identify lists of valid objects.

Thanx for the answer, I'm on it.

Wishing You luck for the baby,
