I'm getting close.
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?
