Disable ALL Nagios Notifications For One Hour, On One Day, Every Month

[Jon Adcock]

  To share, I did what Dan recommended.  Here is what I put my crontab:
 
00 06 15-21 * * test `date +\%a` = Sat && /opt/nagios/libexec/contrib/disable_notifications.sh
00 07 15-21 * * test `date +\%a` = Sat && /opt/nagios/libexec/contrib/enable_notifications.sh
  The third Sat falls on the fifteenth through the twenty-first.  So on those days, it runs a test command to see if it's Sat.  If so, then run the disable notifications script at 6, then run the enable_notifications script at 7.
 
  The scripts are from the link you listed, and:
http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=8
  Note: my printf command is in /usr/bin/printf, so I had to modify the scripts.  Also, make sure that you have the path exactly correct for YOUR nagios.cmd file.

You can do it programmatically with cron through the external commands, a little cleaner approach:

  Within Nagios, is there some way to disable ALL Nagios notifications from 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM every 3rd Saturday of every month?
 
  I could run a cron job that replaced the nagios.cfg file with one that has enable_notifications=0 at 6:00 AM (and restart the service), then run another cron job that replaced the nagios.cfg file with the original file at 7:00 AM (and restart the service), but I'm looking for a solution within Nagios.
