<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi all,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would like to migrate my notifications rules from BB Server to Hobbit / Xymon Server. I use the following BB syntax extensively:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># You can also write rules to exclude recipients based on the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># previous syntax. Just prefix with ! and any recipient</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># specified in the rule line will be removed from the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># list of recipients that matches the regular rules</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># for all hosts don't send any notifications from </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># 12AM to 6AM and 8PM to 12AM</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># !*;;*;;*;0000-0600 2000-2359;*</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># for all hosts that start with host, don't send any</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"># notifications on sat & sun to robert@localhost</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is there any equivalent to this in Hobbit? I can't see one in the man pages. This is very useful for making sure people don't get woken up in the middle of the night for issues that are non-critical at night time… Or for certain people who just should never get alerts at night time or the weekend (or outside office hours). Is the best solution a macro that one uses instead of an e-mail address in the MAIL lines, where the macro contains a TIME=timespecification rule?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Many thanks,</FONT>
