Description
Acknowledge a specific
host problem
Note: This option appears only if the host status is not OK.
Acknowledges host problems. Future notifications about problems are temporarily
disabled until host changes state (for example, recovers). Contacts for host
receive an acknowledgement notification, so they are aware someone is working
on the problem. A comment is also added to host. Enter your name and a brief
description of your actions in the comment field. The following fields are required:
• Host Name
• Author (Your Name)
• Comment
To send acknowledgement notifications to appropriate contacts, select the Send
Notification check box.
To retain comments between Nagios restarts, select the Persistent check box.

Schedule downtime for a
specifichost

preserved across program shutdowns and restarts.
The following fields are required:
• Host Name
• Author (Your Name)

• End Time (m m/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss)
If you select the Fixed check box, downtime is in effect between specified start
and end times. If you do not select the Fixed check box, Nagios treats this as
flexible downtime. Flexible downtime starts when host goes d own or becomes
unreachable (sometime between specified start and end times) and lasts for
specified duration. Duration fields do not apply for fixed downtime.
