Im testing Checkmk for our new monitoring system. I have one problem I cant solve by myself, maybe someone has a solution for that:
Two servers are only online over night 00:00-08:00 (backup stuff)
I defined time periods and I was able to disable certain checks during the day.
But checkmk show them during the day “host problems (unhandled)” as offline / down. And Service Problems “Service: Check_MK (Communication failed…)” thats true but I dont want to have any of this warnigs during the day, checkmk should only check in the night.
Is there an option / easy way to disable everything in the communty edition?
Yes, CheckMK has a solution for everything! You can schedule “downtime”
for the host(s) services in question. Please take a look in the official documentation,
in this section:
thank your for your reply.
I did read this manual before, and I saw this one here basic_downtimes, but I want to have a regular downtime and this is only avaible for the enterprise edition, right?
" * If you use the Checkmk Enterprise Editions, you can also define regular maintenance times (for example, due to a mandatory reboot once a week)."
You’re welcome. Perhaps, yes… A brief Internet search does reveal some
possibilities to do that as far as I can see. Since all of them do refer to Nagios
though, you may need to adapt whichever solution you can find, to work with CheckMK.
Alternatively, you could always buy a subscription for a CEE… It’s not that
expensive, and you won’t regret it…
Have you used the rulesets “Check period for active services”, “Check period for passive Check_MK services” and “Check period for hosts” to configure the timeperiod?
