Hi!
It would be pretty nice to be able to define a timerange for users media.
Example: email notification should always be performed, my script for sending SMS schould only be used Mon-Fri, 18.00-8.00h and Sa-Su, 0.00-24.00h.
So i could also define different destinations for different media type for me...
Maybe this could be provided for a next version :-)
Thanks!
Julian

Here here! This would be a wonderful addition. I currently have Jabber, email, and cell phone notification set up, but I don't want the Jabber messages to be sent when no one is at the office to get them. I suppose I could add a time of day check to the Jabber script, but not having to hard code it would be fantastic.

While on the subject: I would really like to have what Nagios calls "obsessing": if something's wrong (something of significance, i.e. HIGH importance), it should be possible to send out notifications say every 5 minutes untill it is fixed.
When receiving SMS's it is not always clear if something is a temporary condition, and therefore (human behaviour at it's best) there's a risk of ignoring problems.
Apart from that, Zabbix rules.

Thanks a lot! It seems to be in the current new alpha10
:-)
It is not documented yet, so the information will be useful. Time period format is the following:
1-7,00:00-23:59
It means that a media is active from Monday (1) till Sunday (7), from 00:00 till 23:59.
Note that you may have several time periods separated by ';':
1-5,00:00-08:59;1-5,18:00-23:59;6-7,00:00-23:59
This may be used to defined non-working hours.
Enjoy!
what happens if an alert comes during the non-notifications period of the media?
is it dropped? or is it queued and sent when the media become active?
