Host info screen question

[Jeffcoat, Al]

Hello,

 

We have started the process of defining and adding alerts to Hobbit.
The first part of this is to add downtimes.  No point in people getting
needless pages.

 

I have added DOWNTIME tags to some servers, and it appears in the info
page quite nicely as "Planned downtime:Sunday:2100:2300", which is
perfect.  

 

On another host, we had put in a DESCR previously as a test, and removed
it today when I put in the DOWNTIME tag.  Now, on the info tab for that
system, it did remove the Description, but is not putting the DOWNTIME
tag in the same place as the other "working" downtime tags.  However, on
the bottom of this page, it has "Other tags:ftp telnet
DOWNTIME:0:1930:2000", so I'm assuming that Hobbit knows about the
downtime.

 

This is more of an inconsistency which will be pointed out rapidly here,
so I have two questions:

 

1.	Does Hobbit know that this is the planned downtime for this
system, even though it does not display a "Planned Downtime" line on the
info page, but catches it on the "other tags" line?  I want to make sure
someone doesn't get a page during a planned downtime.
2.	Is there a way to get this to be consistent across info pages?
I like that it shows you planned downtime right above the alerts, and
the people here that will be looking at it will be looking in the same
place (hard to get them to look further :-().

 

Thanks

 

Al
