Any suggestions how to set nagios check for a service to only happen at the hour (00) and the half hour (30)? ie: 0000,0030,0100,0130,0200,0230, etc…

Thanks for any suggestions.

i don’t think it’s possible, andit wouldn’t be a good idea if you use multiple services…
you could do it creating passive chceks run on crontab, and using nagios only to read the results…

Thanks for your response. Looks like I will need to see what other options I have for this check. (the passive check and crontab suggestion may be the only way).
