  1. Check the downtimes for both services and hosts:
    Screenshot of Display rules for recurring downtimes for services
    Screenshot of Display rules for recurring downtimes for hosts
    .
    .
  2. If no relevant information is discovered, the next step would involve executing a Livestatus query to retrieve all existing downtimes. 

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    lq "GET downtimes\nColumns: downtime_author downtime_comment downtime_duration downtime_end_time downtime_entry_time downtime_fixed downtime_id downtime_is_service downtime_origin downtime_recurring downtime_start_time host_has_been_checked host_labels host_name host_scheduled_downtime_depth host_state service_description service_has_been_checked service_state"

    .

    .

  3. If nothing is still found, it is recommended to investigate the history file located in the ~/var/check_mk/core, explicitly searching for the summary information. In this particular scenario, the summary to search for is 'DT2'. 

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]~$ grep -rl <DOWNTIMESUMMARY> ~/var/check_mk/core/history 


    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]:-/var/check_ mk/core$ grep -r DT2
    history:[1684243614] EXTERNAL COMMAND: SCHEDULE HOST_ DOWNTIME;localhost2;1684243614:1684243734;1;0;0;cmkadmin;DT2
    history:[1684243614] HOST DOHNTIME ALERT: localhost2;STARTED;DT2
    OMD[mysite]:~ /var/check_mk/core$

    .

  4. If the history file is large, reviewing the files in ~/var/check_mk/core/archive can also be helpful. These history files contain Unix timestamps that can help with troubleshooting. 

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]~$ grep -rl <DOWNTIMESUMMARY> ~/var/check_mk/core/archive/*
