[Xymon] holiday as planned downtime

Hello Henrik,

That's exactly what i mean, but it doesn't seem to work as it should. I have defined following settings:
holidays.cfg: HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=0
xymonserver.cfg: HOLIDAYS="us"
hosts.cfg: DOWNTIME="*:60:0000:2359:test"

I created a test day and when I go to the info page for the pc, it shows us holidays like it should and the test day, but when test goes red it doesn't go into planned downtime. Any other setting I'm missing?

Kind regards, Vriendelijke groeten

Jurgen Claessens

"planned downtime" usually means what you specify with the "DOWNTIME"
parameter. I think what you're after is some way of telling Xymon "DOWNTIME=holidays".

If that is not what you mean, please correct me.

By default, the holidays.cfg file has a setting HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=0 which means that on a holiday, DOWNTIME rules apply as if the current day was a Sunday. So if you have a "DOWNTIME=60:0000:2359" (i.e. planned downtime all of Saturday and Sunday), then a red status on a holiday would show up as blue - planned downtime.

But if you don't want planned downtime on all sundays, then you cannot have such a downtime setting and then you cannot specify holidays as planned downtime.


Regards,
Henrik
