Is there a manner to configure on Xymon 4.2.3 a planned downtime?

And any news about Xymon 4.3.0 stable?

Thanks in advance.

You can use enable/disable to schedule future disables of hosts and tests.
You can also use the DOWNTIME setting in bb-hosts if it is a recurring downtime. See the manual.

With that said, DOWNTIME cannot do advanced scheduling which is I believe one of the very few shortcomings of Xymon. I have a lot of once-a-month maintenance. With Xymon, I believe the maximum time you can do between is weekly.

On the other hand, you could use cron to schedule disablement of services:

   0 0 * * * /home/xymon/server/bin/bb localhost "disable
server,domain,org.TEST 90 scheduled downtime"

would disable the TEST service on server.domain.org for 90 minutes, starting
at midnight every night.  Note that the  hostname elements are
comma-separated, because the dot marks the beginning of the test/service
column name.  That's a legacy of the old BB days...

See the "XYMON MESSAGE SYNTAX" section in the bb.1 man page for full
details.

Yes, that is what I currently do (I actually have some that are second
X-day of the month which are even more complicated), but it is a shame
that I now do not see the downtime information in the 'info' test. With
BB, no such test existed so it wasn't as big of a deal as everyone was
used to looking in cron.

Do you know about the notes directory??  Somewhere like
<xymonhome>/server/www/notes.  Drop a file in there called
"myserver.domain.com.html" and you'll get a link on the info page just under
the Hostname/OS/IP lines.  You'll also find that the hostname becomes a link
wherever it appears in the main or non-green pages.

Not as good as having it in the info page, but better than nothing.

Yeah, that is true. I should probably go through and do that -- there
are not that many servers where this is an issue.

If I had something to wish for though, it would be a better scheduler. ;)

# end

2.) DOWNTIME in bb-hosts used to work for us nicely until our app
guys went nuts and having irregurlar downtimes (then we had to use
option #1).   We still use this for most devel/staging machines.

3.) hobbit-enadis.sh

4.) Move the hobbit-alerts.cg file out of the way and/or just stopped
the hobbit server daemon processes.  Obviously this is a silly way
to do it, but it works too. This will skew your hobbit reporting.

Since you mention a 'to-do' list....

I have thousands of systems spread out over 7 time zones.  
They all have 'planned downtime' scenarios for the same local time --
eg,  00:30-01:00.
It would be nice to have the downtime checker be able to use client
local time instead of server time.

Hi folks,

I'm running 4.3.10 at the moment on Linux and have a question about the
DOWNTIME parameter in hosts.cfg.
- From the man page of hosts.cfg:

DOWNTIME=day:starttime:endtime[,day:starttime:endtime]
DOWNTIME=columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause[,columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause]
    This tag can be used to ignore failed checks during specific times
of the day - e.g. if you run services that are only monitored e.g.
Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, or you always reboot a server every Monday between 5
and 6 pm.

    What happens is that if a test fails during the specified time, it
is reported with status BLUE instead of yellow or red. Thus you can
still see when the service was unavailable, but alarms will not be
triggered and the downtime is not counted in the availability
calculations generated by the Xymon reports.

Can someone confirm that this only works for red and yellow alerts but
not for the purple ones?
Can this behaviour be adjusted somewhere? Except for setting the status
lifetime in the scripts of course.

Thanks
Torsten

lifetime in the scripts of course.
You're right that it only affects red or yellow alerts.

It isn't something that you can configure, but I do see your point in having this also work for a purple status - typically local custom tests that are not running when the server is down.

You can change it in the code: In 4.3.10, this is in xymon-4.3.10/xymond/xymond.c on line 1194:

  if ((*color == COL_RED) || (*color == COL_YELLOW)) {

should be changed to

  if ((*color == COL_RED) || (*color == COL_YELLOW) || (*color == COL_PURPLE)) {

Run make + make install (or copy xymond/xymond over to the bin/ directory).

I'll make this change for 4.3.12. Note that you'll have to restart Xymon for this to take effect.

Hi Henrik,

thanks for your quick answer.
Well then I have to check when I can have a "planned downtime" for the XYmon
server restart ;-)

Regards
Torsten

Can this behaviour be adjusted somewhere? Except for setting the
