DOWNTIME in bb-hosts not working for client-based test

Hello,

  So this weekend was the first time I've had hobbit running during a
reboot of two monitored servers and while it didn't alert during the
specified DOWNTIME for network tests, it started sending purple
messages 30m later when the client-based tests weren't reporting.

The bb-hosts entry looks something like:

ip host # DOWNTIME:0:0400:0445 ftp ssh etc..

The server reboots at 4am and takes about 12-15 minutes to get moving
again. (ibm h70)  So a cron starts the cluster at 4:30 which in turn
starts the bb client.

Bug or something to change in my config?

Thank You,

the manpage for bb-hosts says this should read DOWNTIME=0:0400:0445

Probably an 'at-home' typo.  I'm pretty sure I had the syntax correct
at work, but didn't feel like connecting right now.  (I'll check
tomorrow)  Although since the downtime period worked for the network
tests, I'm leaning towards a bug.  (when you click on the history, the
page is blue and mentions that the test was ignored due to downtime)

Every evening I shutdown my bb-client server. I disable all tests. This morning I didn't start the machine before the disabletime runout. I thought I should test the DOWNTIME i bb-hosts, so I put this in:
 
DOWNTIME=*:1800:0700
 
The connectiontests (conn, ftp and telnet) becam blue but the local tests (cpu, disk....) still was purple.
 
I think this is the same as Robert got.
 
Regards
Lars

OK, I see why. The "dont go purple" for client tests checked if the
"conn" test was red - but didn't consider the case where it was blue
(disabled).

Bug.
