I've just added this into my own servers hobbitserver.cfg, the default one was %m/%d, I prefer the reverse (the way you've shown in the config entry below).

HOLIDAYFORMAT="%d/%m"

So far no change, I'll let you know if the display/look does change.

By the way, my holidays were added in bb-hosts like this:

# You need to define at least the Xymon server itself here.
0.0.0.0         .default.               # holidays=us

I changed this to:

# You need to define at least the Xymon server itself here.
0.0.0.0         .default.               # holidays=US

And now my info page is showing US instead of us.

Thanks for the info.
So the missing line in hobbitserver.cfg is really just a format variable.
HOLIDAYFORMAT="%d/%m" # How holiday dates
are displayed

To enable/disable holiday alerting, your following lines are the instruction.

By the way, here is the top portion for this file:

# If you want to handle alerts on a holiday
# like alerts on sunday set
#               HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=0
# or like fridays then set
#               HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=5
# To disable the holiday calculation set
#               HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=-1

HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=-1   # -1= no holiday calculation
                        # 0=handle holidays like sundays
                        # 6=handle holidays like saturdays

So you can disable holidays altogether, or handle in any way you need, to include adding your own even to this file.

I checked 4.3.0 src tree, hobbit-holidays.cfg is inside
hobbitd/etcfiles directory.
Not sure why Henrik didn't add HOLIDAYFORMAT into hobbitserver.cfg.DIST file.
Perhaps I am mis-reading this, but isn't this defined in
/etc/hobbit-holidays.cfg?
HOLIDAYFORMAT is defined in hobbtserver.cfg.
See http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh?server for example.
Not in my version, I am running 4.3.0-0.beta2.

Maybe this is considered an optional feature ?

Do you think holiday should be enabled by default for 4.3.0 ?
Judging from the above, I would guess so, never used any earlier versions.
