Hi all,

I'm monitoring a server that is running xymon client. This host is powered
down every night at 11pm, and is powered up every morning at 9am.
So, in bb-hosts file on xymon server, I added the following to this host
description :
toto 1.2.3.4 # test test1 test2 DOWNTIME=*:2300:0900:dodo

But when the host goes down, I still have some red and purple test from it.
I'd like to simply ignore its existence during the scheduled downtime. I
tried to reverse my DOWNTIME definition as it :
DOWNTIME=*:0900:2300:dodo

But nothing changes.

Tks for any help

hi,

Hmm, strange. I use 'DOWNTIME=http*:*:0420:0440:maintenance' and it
works for me. Xymon 4.2.3.

Regards.

Do you confirm the DOWNTIME is used in bb-hosts file (server side), and is
defined in the same line as the tests I want for this host ?

Looks like your missing the day
toto 1.2.3.4 # test test1 test2 DOWNTIME=*:2300:0900:dodo

Man page says:
DOWNTIME=[columns:]day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:ca
use] 
So you should look like this:

toto 1.2.3.4 # test test1 test2 DOWNTIME=*:*:2300:0900:dodo

You understand correctly, it is optional. Are you sure that your example is correct? You seem to have the hostname and IP address the wrong way round.

My setup is:

1.2.3.4 hostname # test test1 DOWNTIME=W:1800:0800

Malcolm
