So send alerts from 11:00 am to 10:30 am every day.
Isn't this kind of like dividing by zero? How does this actually work, does
it cover all day except that half hour window?

What just worked for me in hobbit-alerts.cfg, was:
HOST=%$HG-VSNL COLOR=red,purple DURATION>7 TIME=*:1100:1030
MAIL $NG-IM-ADMIN
MAIL $NG-IM-ONCALL FORMAT=SMS
So send alerts from 11:00 am to 10:30 am every day.
What I'm trying right now is:
HOST=%$HG-VSNL COLOR=red,purple DURATION>7
MAIL $NG-IM-ADMIN
IGNORE SERVICE=procs TIME=*:1110:1130
MAIL $NG-IM-ONCALL FORMAT=SMS
So the email would come, but the page wouldn't happen, and only on procsm
between 11:10 and 11:30 am.
I've had trouble with this, but that was when the machine was in a large
group, so I'm splitting it to it's own group (with it's backup server).
The former should work for you. It should look like:
HOST=<HOSTNAME> SERVICE=cpu,mysql COLOR=red DURATION>7 TIME=*:1800:1900
MAIL <WHEREVER> FORMAT=SMS
Test it with
bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test <HOSTNAME> cpu --duration=8 time=1229646890
the time value is in epochtime. That number is seconds. It's roughly 6:30
pm CST.

Argh!
I don't want to answer my PDA every night at 6pm because of a stupid backup
job overloading the CPU and DB. L There has to be a way to get this to
work...

That syntax looks right.
Unfortunately, I think it's just broken. I've been fighting this all week.
I've tried DOWNTIME, TIME on the HOST line of hobbit-alerts.cfg, TIME with
IGNORE.
I've tried it with a bogus alarm, and with procs. I had it working with a
bogus alarm, but it always ignores procs.
bbcmd hobbitd_alerts .... parses it correctly, and you think you're
going to get what you want. But then 2:11am the oncall is still paged.
I have this on Solaris 10 (in a zone) with Hobbit 4.2.0 and
yesterday upgraded to Xymon 4.2.2. Same deal.

Hey everyone,
I'm having problems with the DOWNTIME: tag on a host as it appears not to
be working. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
