TIME alert problems (still)

[Mike Rowell]

Fellow Hobbitiers...

 

Some may remember an issue I raised a few weeks back with regard to the
TIME option in the hobbit-alerts config in that TIME was not being
honoured and so we were getting alerted during blackout time periods
that were set.  This still looks like it's an issue in the snapshot I
downloaded 3days after the beta release.

 

Has anyone got any other ideas, is TIME only honoured on built in checks
or something along those lines as it's the ext scripts that are causing
the alerting (they are sending results to hobbit and hobbit does the
actual alerting).

 

Some information...

hobbit-alerts.cfg

 

HOST=*

    MAIL=sysalert SERVICE=aq FORMAT=PLAIN REPEAT=1h COLOR=yellow

    MAIL=support SERVICE=aq COLOR=RED FORMAT=SMS DURATION>5 REPEAT=1h
TIME=W:0900:1700 STOP

 

(these are lines 135 and 136 so it looks like it's ignoring them
totally, although in bb-hostsvc.sh it shows them laid out properly with
the correct blackout times listed against the services).  As you can see
from the information above even though the aq service is set to only
alert W(eekdays) between 0900 and 1700 we were still getting alerts over
the weekend.

 

I also have the same problem with another service, this one was just
easiest to get the information for.
