I've looked at the hosts.cfg man page, I've done some searching of the list archives, and I've done some experimentation of my own, but I seem to be unable to achieve the following:
I have some hosts for which I'd like to perform web content checks. I've got the cont= lines setup like so:
cont=ptlcls2;http://some.host.here:20039/wps/portal/fhmc;"regex[[:space:]]text";
And the alarm works just fine.
I've tried adding:
DOWNTIME=content:*:1435:1445:"some description"
or
DOWNTIME=ptlcls2:*:1435:1445:"some description"
But the new column "ptlcls2" still goes red, rather than blue, during the DOWNTIME period.
The only thing I can think of is that DOWNTIME isn't available for content checks, or that I'm incorrectly specifiying the test/status/column for the DOWNTIME specification. If anyone has any insight as to what I might be doing wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it.
