RE: Are cron definitions for host/port checks supported?

Thank you for your quick answer.

I saw this section already, but thought that this would only count for service checks.

Now I understand it, and solved my requirement like this (in .monitrc):

check host [server]_ping with address myserver.com
  if failed ping then alert

check host [server]_website with address myserver.com
  if failed port 80 protocol http request "/ " then alert
  every "* 8-18 * * 1-5"

Now everything works fine.

Hi there

We need to monitor a website (host / port) only between a specific time range (e.g. while 08:00-18:00 on workdays).

Is it possible to add something like for the services:
check host [host] with address [fqdn]
  if failed ping then alert
  if failed port 80 protocol http request "/index.php" then alert
    every "* 8-18 * * 1-5"

This would be great. If not, I have to use a curl script... :/

Thank you for your effort.

Yes, monit supports cron-style scheduling.  See the manual for details.
