AW: Scheduling downtime for all services in a host?

[Sand Philipp]

When you want to schedule a downtime for all services on a host, even when the host won't go down, the easiest way is to schedule a *fixed* downtime. When you schedule a flexible downtime for the host, the downtime starts when the hostcheck turns critical, *not* when a servicecheck on the host goes critical!
Try out, it should work with fixed downtimes.

I also thought that was the case, so I decided to try it. 

I declared a host with 2 services, PING and SSH, and I waited until Nagios ran its first checks to make sure that everything was up.  Then I declared an hour of flexible downtime on the host, scheduled to start 5 minutes ago and to last for one hour.  I did this using the CGIs. 

Once my command had been received, I turned off SSH (just SSH).  I would expect that, since I had declared downtime, I would not be notified about the SSH failure.  However, 10 minutes later I got an email telling me that SSH on the host was down. 

So it looks to me like scheduling downtime just for the host will not automatically schedule downtime for the services on the host, and I can not assume that the host and its services will be going down at the same time.
