Hey all,
I’m running xymon 4.3.7 and I have been trying to find a way so that the
holidays are being showed as what would be the same for the alerting.
For me this would mean that if it’s a holiday they would show as planned
downtime and not show up in the allnongreen window.
The alerting itself works without problems, but I cannot find a way for
the planned downtime act the same way.
"planned downtime" usually means what you specify with the "DOWNTIME" parameter. I think what you're after is some way of telling Xymon "DOWNTIME=holidays".
If that is not what you mean, please correct me.
By default, the holidays.cfg file has a setting HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=0 which means that on a holiday, DOWNTIME rules apply as if the current day was a Sunday. So if you have a "DOWNTIME=60:0000:2359" (i.e. planned downtime all of Saturday and Sunday), then a red status on a holiday would show up as blue - planned downtime.
But if you don't want planned downtime on all sundays, then you cannot have such a downtime setting and then you cannot specify holidays as planned downtime.
