Lee,
I did something similar, but instead of doing an ignore on the alert,
I put the server into a downtime for the window.
DOWNTIME=cam:60:0000:2400:Offline2,cam:W:1930:0830:Offline
The first one puts service cam into downtime all day saturday and
sunday, and the second does it all Weekdays 730p to 830a
Hope that helps and thanks for the link in your email, I'm checking
out Glance now :)

Greetings all,
I have been trying to figure this out and I think I am missing something
real obvious.
I am trying to ignore an event when a series of servers do some backups and
the http test gets triggered for a second Sunday Morning at 3:35AM or
0835UTC.
Here is the rule in hobbit-alerts.cfg
HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 COLOR=red SERVICE=http
IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845
But I get still get paged.
Here is what I get when I run:
./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test S1 http
00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Matching host:service:page 'S1:http:' against
rule line 81
2009-12-29 18:02:45 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays):
7:0830:0845
00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Failed 'IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http
TIME=7:0830:0845' (time criteria)
In the hobbit manual there is an example that shows a similar rule set for
Thursday using day 4:0000:0000 so I believe Sunday should be day 7?
If I change the day to 6 I don't get that error in the --test output.
Thanks and HNY!
