How to make nagios not send messages during the night and morning to send all the remaining errors

Question

I have Nagios checking service status and sending SMS messages about service status.

Some problems are not important at night and prefer to not send them at night.

define timeperiod{
    timeperiod_name non_work
    alias       Non work hours
    sunday      00:00-24:00
    monday      00:00-09:00,18:00-24:00
    tuesday     00:00-09:00,18:00-24:00
    wednesday   00:00-09:00,18:00-24:00
    thursday    00:00-09:00,18:00-24:00
    friday      00:00-09:00,18:00-24:00
    saturday    00:00-24:00
}

However, in the morning I would like that all the problems, not just new would be sent. How can I configure that?

Or nagios do not have this functions?

Answer 1

As I understand your problem, you just don't want to receive text messages during the night for certain problems, but upon work hours want to receive all the warnings you would have received if the warnings were being sent. This isn't something that is built into Nagios, but is something that you can/should send over to the development community for consideration.
