Very weird..

The device in question went down/up for 12 minutes outside of the time
frame specified by the DOWNTIME statement.  After it went down hobbitd
complained with the following error, minutes afterward the device did come
back up.  The error still stands.

Strange...I am going to try out:


DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,W:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday

tonight as Henrik suggested (which to my understand is just a shorter
version).  The host in question is definitely down between those times and
was down this morning at 2AM when I was watching it.  Thing still wouldn't
go blue, hmm...

Thanks for the help guys, I'll let you know what happens probably on
Sunday.

 If memory serves, when I was configuring DOWNTIME I found that if you
specify the optional reason you must also specify the optional service.
Could be mistaken, of course…this is what works for me:


DOWNTIME=*:6:0125:0225:"reason goes here"


Cheers.

Neither of these two complained:

DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday

DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,1:1930:0730:nightlyoff,2:1930:0730:nightlyoff,3:1930:0730:nightlyoff,4:1930:0730:nightlyoff,5:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday

However that second one didn't disable the host, should it be as it is
obviously within that time frame?

Does anyone have a working example by chance?

Thanks for the suggestion, Allan!

The only thing I can think is the * overides/conflicts with the
individual day entries and it doesnt like this ?

What if you leave it with just the Saturday and Sunday Entries ?

I am having some issues with this one...

DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday,0:0000:2359:OffSunday

Info page says:
All days:1930:0730:nightlyoff, Sat:0830:2359:OffSaturday,
Sun:0000:2359:OffSunday

But hobbitd is complaining:
Latest errormessages:
Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 1930:0730:nightlyoff
Is there something wrong with the *?

   6:0000:2359:OffSunday <--that is my only question before I try it
   - shouldn't it be 6 for Sunday and 5 for Saturday?

LMJ,

Excellent! That answers half my question - but now I need to
       disable it all
day on the weekends; can you have two time frames in one
       downtime statement?

I have a device that shuts down at 7:30pm and comes back
       up at 7:30am. What
is the best way to disable this host every single night?
I would like it to be marked as disabled during this
       time, but I definitely
do not want the bb.html, bb2.html and bb.wml showing up
       red - red is bad!  I
also need it to stop sending email alerts.

Would DOWNTIME= be what am I looking for?  If so can
       someone explain how the
       day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:cause] gets
       filled it?
I need it to be every weekday in the evenings and nights
       as well as every weekend.
I had almost the same issue : do not display databases
       connection errors during the night backup, here we
go :

 ip.ip.ip.ip   name    # conn foo bar    NAME:"Nice Name"
       DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:MyReason
 That's it ;)
       Test this :

 DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:MyReason,5:0000:2359:OffSaturday,5:0000:2359:OffSunday

       What do you think about this one ? ;)
