DOWNTIME tag question

[Eric Meddaugh]

Just wondering if anyone had more experience with the DOWNTIME tag.  

 

 

I'm just starting to use Hobbit for monitoring.  The DOWNTIME tag I have
a question with.  I had this:

 

129.21.35.49    sc3oracle02     # ssh oracle:COBDPROD
DOWNTIME=*:0244:0546:Backups COMMENT:"<font size=-1>cobddb</font>

 

The Database went down at 2:45am, however things went Red.  I see this
in the hobbitd.log:

 

2006-09-28 02:44:33 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

2006-09-28 02:44:37 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

2006-09-28 02:44:41 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

2006-09-28 02:44:41 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

2006-09-28 02:44:46 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

2006-09-28 02:44:47 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

2006-09-28 02:44:49 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

2006-09-28 02:44:49 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

 

So I thought maybe it was Backups was not quoted, so I changed it to:

 

129.21.35.49    sc3oracle02     # ssh oracle:COBDPROD
DOWNTIME=*:0244:0546:"Backups" COMMENT:"<font size=-1>cobddb</font>

 

I then extended the Endtime and shutdown the DB, I still got this error:

 

2006-09-28 08:11:32 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'

 

However this time it appeared that it was blue and disabled.

 

 

My question is more of a clarification.  I have not tried to put in
DOWNTIME=oracle:*:0244:0546:"Backups"

 

Can someone clear up what is happening and how it should work?

 

Thanks.
