Downtime Question

[Jack Doyle]

So then what I wanted is correct... If a host is scheduled for downtime, all services will supress notification?

So you'd only want to schedule the service downtime if, for instance, you were just taking a web server offline, for example.

Service and Host Filters: 

The first filter for host or service notifications is a check to see if the host or service is in a period of scheduled downtime. It (sic) it is in a scheduled downtime, no one gets notified. If it isn't in a period of downtime, it gets passed on to the next filter. As a side note, notifications for services are supressed (sic) if the host they're associated with is in a period of scheduled downtime.
