With the holiday season approaching, I was preparing our time periods in Icinga. After all these years, I found the include/exclude option only this doesn’t seems to work like I expected.
We’ve a timeperiod object called “Officehours” and an object “OutsideOfficeHours”. Between office hours we get voice notifications on our SIP phones and outside the office hours we get voice notifications on our cellphones.
Now I created a new timeperiod object “Holidays” with the range “december 07 = 14:00-14:30”. I excluded the “holidays” object in “officehours” and include “holidays” in the “OutsideOfficeHours” object. I triggered a critical state on one of our hosts, but we didn’t get any notification.
The API shows that the exclude is working fine, because the value “is_inside” is false for officehours. But “is_inside” is also false for OutsideOfficeHours.
Can somebody explain me why this isn’t working?
Thanks!
