Nagios - alert during business hours

Is there a way for certain nagios alerts to only alert during business hours?

Yes, there is. Look at your resource configuration file.

The default entry should look like this:

Code:
# This defines a timeperiod where all times are valid for checks, 
# notifications, etc.  The classic "24x7" support nightmare. :-)

define timeperiod{
        timeperiod_name 24x7
        alias           24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week
        sunday          00:00-24:00
        monday          00:00-24:00
        tuesday         00:00-24:00
        wednesday       00:00-24:00
        thursday        00:00-24:00
        friday          00:00-24:00
        saturday        00:00-24:00
        }

It's been a long time since I last configured Nagios so I'm not sure if paths and names have changed in recent versions.

In case they did, just follow the main.cfg and it should point you to the correct resource file.
