[hobbit] Is there a way to "quietly" disable hosts that have NOTICE set?

[PNIXON at ci.somerville.ma.us]

Here's another solution....
 
Write a script to handle the paging for this server and service (oracle).
It checks to see if the backup is running, if so, don't page, if not, page.
 
--Pat

If you are oncall, do you want to get woken up by the DISABLE notice alerts
every 5 mins at 3am (or even one of them)? :-)

Before you say "don't use NOTICE in hobbit-alerts.cfg then", consider that
when things are purposefully disabled for reasons other than scheduled
downtime, folks want to know about it.

Have your script disable it every five minutes or so until the backup is

done?

Yep...I tried doing a disable for -1 (until OK), but if you do that while

the service is still green, it immediately recovers.

 The DOWNTIME option in bb-hosts has the ability to set the status of 

services blue without sending NOTICE alerts. I would like this same 

ability on an interactive basis (via a message to hobbit using the bb 

command).



      

So, essentially you need DOWNTIME to have something like the "until 

green again" option that was added to the enable/disable page in 4.2, 

right??



Unless I've completely missed your point, for which I apologise in

advance...:)
