Thanks for your fast answer. I gave it a try, that sounds like a good way to 
fix it.

Regards,
Samuel

Hi,

I’m not sure to understand Icinga2's behavior with downtimes.

I would say this should prevents notifications to be sent to the admins during 
a period that is planned for maintenance.
Let's see a concrete case : We reboot a server and make a cold image 
(Clonezilla).

a) we declare a downtime for the host in question and "All Services".
b) we reboot the server
c) we receive one email for the host with "DOWNTIMESTART - host is DOWN"
d) we receive one email per service on the host with "DOWNTIMESTART - host - service 
is CRITICAL"
e) we process with or without network (that depends if we drop the clonezilla 
image on a local or a network storage)
f) when maintenance is done, we reboot the server
as soon as downtime reaches the end
g) we receive one email for the host with "DOWNTIMEEND - host is UP"
h) we receive one email per service on the host with "DOWNTIMEEND - host - service 
is OK"
i) we even receive some emails with "RECOVERY host - service is OK" (duplicates 
with h) )

That's a huge verbose for a planned downtime.
What we'd expect would be a maximum of receiving the c) and g) emails ... and 
probably have the possibility not to receive any since we knew the problem 
before Icinga even found it.

I've 
readhttp://docs.icinga.org/icinga2/latest/doc/module/icinga2/chapter/advanced-topics
  but couldn't find anything that could help.
Use type filters and drop the DowntimeStart and DowntimeEnd notifications in 
case you don’t want them.

Kind regards,
Michael

Are we missing something about downtime?

Thanks
Samuel
