Hi again Henrik
I'm trying to use the new DOWNTIME settings. From the Changelog :
* DOWNTIME can now be applied to individual tests, and
you can specify a text explaining why the service is
down. The new format in the bb-hosts file is:
DOWNTIME=columns:days:starttime:endtime:cause
If you have more than one service that you want to set
the downtime for, "column" can be "*" to match all
services, or you can define multiple downtime-settings:
"DOWNTIME=http,ftp:*:0300:0315:CMS update;*:0:0200:0210:Reboot"
I added this to a host : DOWNTIME=*:*:1000:1600:Test
In the 'info' colum, that appeared correctly : Planned downtime:All
days:*:1000:1600:Test
Sent (with BBwin 0.7) a red status which appeared as... red, and an
alert was sent.
Maybe I'm not using DOWNTIME the right way ?
Another thing, adding a space in the cause field seems not to work.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
