[Xymon] Problem disabling large groups of hosts

[Dugan, Darin D [ITSYS]]

This may be a genuine problem to be solved, but.... Doesn't DOWNTIME fit the bill here to designate recurring maintenance windows?

Subject: [Xymon] Problem disabling large groups of hosts


I'm having a problem trying to disable over 1000+ hosts and tests at one time for maintenance windows. I've even tried disabling in groups of 100-200 but it will still miss a group of servers here and there. It seems that when I click "apply" and once the screen refreshes could possibly stop running the enadis.sh/cgi script in the background (??)

Is there a way to debug this or modify the refresh time/interval?

The reason we want to disable all these hosts/tests for maintenance windows is to keep SLA during the reboots and service outages for patching etc.. Does anyone have other recommendations or suggest using REPORTTIME globally instead?


FreeBSD 9.0
Apache 2.2.22
Xymon v4.3.10


Thanks in advance,

Clint
