How businessimpact modulations works

Depending on your configuration you may want to change the business impact of a specific host during the night. For example you don't consider a specific application as critical for business during night because there are no users, so impact is lower on errors.

How to define a businessimpact_modulation

define businessimpactmodulation{
  business_impact_modulation_name  LowImpactOnNight
  business_impact                  1
  modulation_period                night
}



define service{
  check_command                  check_crm_status
  check_period                   24x7
  host_name                      CRM
  service_description            CRM_WEB_STATUS
  use                            generic-service
  business_impact                3
  businessimpactmodulations      LowImpactOnNight
}

Here the business impact will be modulated to 1 during night for the service CRM_WEB_STATUS.
