Thruk - Time Definitions

Time Definitions

new in release v2.32

Whenever you need to enter a time definition in Thruk you can do that in several ways.

Fixed Ranges

Usually there is a set of predefined ranges, like last week to choose from. They should be pretty much self-explanatory.

Time Arithmetics

If the predefined fixed ranges don’t fit, choose custom and you can use basic self defined time arithmetics like today - 2d which is 2 days before today.

Available terms:

now Current time.
today Refers to today at 00:00.
yesterday Yesterday at 00:00.
lastmonday Last Monday at 00:00.
thisweek Monday of current week at 00:00. Same as lastmonday
lastweek Monday of last week at 00:00.
nextweek Monday of next week at 00:00.
thismonth First day of current month at 00:00.
lastmonth First day of last month at 00:00.
nextmonth First day of next month at 00:00.
thisyear First day of current year at 00:00.
lastyear First day of previous year at 00:00.
nextyear First day of next year at 00:00.

Simple calculation are possible like this:

Tuesday 00:00 of current week: lastmonday + 86400

The following suffixes can be used to make times more human readable:

y: years
w: weeks
d: days
h: hours
m: minutes

So the example above could also be written as: lastmonday + 1d

These calculation do no timezone or daylight saving adjustments.
