I declared a host with 2 services, <st1:place w:st="on">PING</st1:place> 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. -- A.
