[hobbit] Downtime tag syntax

[Clint Simmons]

Jason,

 

Have you tried removing ":Backups"? I had problems using a comment at
the end so I just removed mine and it worked fine.

Argh!

 

I don't want to answer my PDA every night at 6pm because of a stupid
backup job overloading the CPU and DB. L There has to be a way to get
this to work...

That syntax looks right.

 

Unfortunately, I think it's just broken. I've been fighting this all
week. I've tried DOWNTIME, TIME on the HOST line of hobbit-alerts.cfg,
TIME with IGNORE.

I've tried it with a bogus alarm, and with procs. I had it working with
a bogus alarm, but it always ignores procs.

 

bbcmd hobbitd_alerts ....    parses it correctly, and you think you're
going to get what you want. But then 2:11am the oncall is still paged.

 

I have this on Solaris 10 (in a zone) with Hobbit 4.2.0 and yesterday
upgraded to Xymon 4.2.2. Same deal.

	Hey everyone,

	
	I'm having problems with the DOWNTIME: tag on a host as it
appears not to be working. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

	 

	DOWNTIME:cpu,mysql:*:1800:1830:Backups
