Do you know about the notes directory?? Somewhere like
<xymonhome>/server/www/notes. Drop a file in there called
"myserver.domain.com.html" and you'll get a link on the info page just
under the Hostname/OS/IP lines. You'll also find that the hostname
becomes a link wherever it appears in the main or non-green pages.
Not as good as having it in the info page, but better than nothing.

Yes, that is what I currently do (I actually have some that are second

that I now do not see the downtime information in the 'info' test. With
BB, no such test existed so it wasn't as big of a deal as everyone was
used to looking in cron.

On the other hand, you could use cron to schedule disablement of

0 0 * * * /home/xymon/server/bin/bb localhost "disable

would disable the TEST service on server.domain.org
<http://server.domain.org>;
<http://server.domain.org>; for 90 minutes, starting at midnight every
night. Note that the hostname elements are comma-separated, because
the dot marks the beginning of the test/service column name. That's a
legacy of the old BB days...
See the "XYMON MESSAGE SYNTAX" section in the bb.1 man page for full
details.

With that said, DOWNTIME cannot do advanced scheduling which is I
believe one of the very few shortcomings of Xymon. I have a lot of
once-a-month maintenance. With Xymon, I believe the maximum
time you
can do between is weekly.

You can use enable/disable to schedule future disables of

tests.
You can also use the DOWNTIME setting in bb-hosts if it is a
recurring downtime. See the manual.

*Subject:* [xymon] Planned downtime
Is there a manner to configure on Xymon 4.2.3 a planned downtime?
And any news about Xymon 4.3.0 stable?
Thanks in advance.
