[Xymon] holiday as planned downtime

[Claessens Jurgen]

Hello all,

In order to see if the 4.3.10 would solve my problem regarding this I performed an upgrade, only to find that it's still the same issue.
Is this feature not enabled? 
The way Henrik describes it, is exactly what I'm after. Ay help is highly appreciated.

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
