[Xymon] alert IGNORE question

[Kevin VerMeer]

Thanks.
Any idea on the error message?  Is "TIME=2345:0245" valid?  That seems to be what the error message is complaining about.
Maybe I need the day-of-week specified?  Is 1-7: 2345:0245 or *:2345:0245 the right format?
I have not been able to find that.

I'm going to guess on question one. I'd say it would be the servers time, since the evaluation is going on on the server.

For the second question, no, you don't need 2. Ignore time wraps around.

I have one client that has a maintentance window every night.
I have two questions related to the IGNORE alert option.

1.      Is the time specified in the IGNORE the server time or the client time?

2.      The time I would like to ignore wraps around midnight.  Do I need two separate IGNORE statements for that?  Below are the pertinent lines in alert.cfg, and an error being generated to /var/log/xymon/alert.log

HOST=* SERVICE=linkthreads COLOR=red
## ignore linkthreads on 10144 for this duration
        IGNORE HOST=CCHWOOPNL TIME=2345:0245
