Weird Alerting behavior...bug or expected??

[Eric Meddaugh]

We have the following the the Alerts file:

 

# on-call page

$TSSSYS_ONCALL_DAY=SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/qpage.pl
tss_sys_oncall COLOR=red REPEAT=10 TIME=W:0800:1700 RECOVERED

$TSSSYS_ONCALL_OFF=SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/qpage.pl
tss_sys_oncall COLOR=red REPEAT=20 TIME=W:1700:0800 RECOVERED

$TSSSYS_ONCALL_END=SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/qpage.pl
tss_sys_oncall COLOR=red REPEAT=20 TIME=06:*:* RECOVERED

 

$DUPING=%(mxgate)

 

HOST=$DUPING SERVICE=conn

        $TSSSYS_ONCALL_DAY

        $TSSSYS_ONCALL_OFF

        $TSSSYS_ONCALL_END

 

 

 

We had a host (mxgate03) go down at 3:15am, it sent 1 initial page, but
no follow ups.  No repeats.  Does Monday from 12am-8am fall in a "limbo"
timeframe where the 2nd rule does not apply since it's not a Weekday
after 5pm, but before 8am???   The host was down for over 3 hours
without any follow up pages.

 

Do I need a rule similar to:

 

$TSSSYS_ONCALL_MON=SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/qpage.pl
tss_sys_oncall COLOR=red REPEAT=10 TIME=1:0000:0800 RECOVERED

 

 

 

The different rules are suppose to repeat 10 minute during business
hours, and 20 minutes off-hours.

 

Any ideas?  Is this a bug or expected behavior? 

 

Thanks.
