Hi,
We want no alerts in the night, although the checks should run.
Is a service in the morning still down, we should get a SMS.
f.e. We have disabled alerts between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am.
Now a check fails at 11:00 pm and the check is still down an 06:00 am, we should get this alerts at 06:00 am.
Is there a possibility?
The advantage over disable the checks for this time would be, that you can exactly say, when the check was failing.
Thanks in advance
Martin

Schedules can be applied to actions the same way they were used for tests. With schedules, actions can be customized per time of the day. For instance, an action profile can be set up to page both the IT manager and the network administrator during regular office hours, and to page the administrator alone the rest of the time, while doing nothing else but writing to the log on weekends. To make this possible, simply check the "Time restriction" option and select an appropriate schedule.
Deferred action
"Time restriction" option allows you to suppress action execution depending on time of the day and/or day of the week. Additional "Deferred action" option tells HostMonitor to delay action execution if specified schedule does not allow immediate execution of the action. HostMonitor will execute action at the beginning of "allowed" time frame on condition that status of the test is identical to status that triggered alert (see Note #3).
Note 1: If the same test triggers the same action several times within "restricted" time frame, HostMonitor will execute action just once at the beginning of "allowed" time frame.
Note 2: When HostMonitor starts deferred (delayed) action, macro variables will be resolved with using of current (up to date) test status, current date and time, current status of HostMonitor, etc.
Note 3: HostMonitor considers the following statuses as identical
- Bad, Bad contents, No answer
- Ok, Host is alive, Normal
- Unknown, Unknown host
Also "Warning" status can be considered as identical to "Bad" when "Treat Warning status as Bad" option of the test item is enabled. The same is true for "Unknown" and "Unknown host" statuses when "Treat Unknown status as Bad" option is enabled.
