This is interesting.
I setup a test environment using only localhost.
I created a similar time period as I have on my production box, adjusted
the threshold on / free space to purposely generate a warning below 80%
free.
It did go to warning status at 15:18 within the exclusion of 15:00 to
15:30.
It's now 22:05 and when I look at the details it hasn't sent any
notifications - in other words it didn't start notifications after the
exclusion period finished.
Current Status:
WARNING (for 0d 6h 45m 32s)
Status Information: DISK WARNING - free space: / 13926 MB (79%
inode=84%):
Performance Data: /=3537MB;3679;5519;0;18399
Current Attempt: 2/2 (HARD state)
Last Check Time: 08-26-2008 22:03:03
Check Type: ACTIVE
Check Latency / Duration: 0.155 / 0.032 seconds
Next Scheduled Check: 08-26-2008 22:04:03
Last State Change: 08-26-2008 15:18:03
Last Notification: N/A (notification 0)
Is This Service Flapping? NO (0.00% state change)
In Scheduled Downtime? NO
Last Update: 08-26-2008 22:03:33 ( 0d 0h 0m 2s ago)

You should be able to use timeperiods the way you would like to. I
will have to setup my test environment to see if I get the same
problem you are describing. It would be nice to figure this out. Is
this a problem with other users?

Hi Jon,
So it was following your notification timeperiod but not your check
timeperiod? Was version of Nagios were you running? Were you using
the exclude function (new to nagios 3.x)? Nagios 3.x did add new
functionality to timeperiods. It is possible that a bug was introduced.
