Hi !

I've got an problem with my colleagues and the alert-storm
if a hole batchfarm will be rebooted for kernel-upgrade etc.
  .. and the person, who did it, doesn't deactivate them or make an
Acknowledge-Downtime, don't ask me why ... he hate web-guis, want to make
only one command on the console ...

I know, i asked something similiar before

Re: [hobbit] remote/commandline Acknowledge Alerts
IMHO, planned changes should be preceded by disabling the tests that would be
affected,
Yep,  you're right of course ..
which can easily be done with a command-line ...
But how i know early the alert-id for the host/service e.g. cpu & conn for host1,host2 ?

NAME
        bb-ack.cgi - Hobbit CGI script to acknowledge alerts


        bb-ack.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters.


        NUMBER is the number identifying the host/service to be acknowledged.  It is included in all alert-messages sent out by Hobbit.

Or did i something missing ?

cheers,
