I've been using old BB 1.08 and now XYMon, I'm trying to migrate downtime
rules but I am not very successful with it.

The test that I need NOT reporting on weekends are NOT network tests, they
are custom ALC that written on the agent folder and forwarded to the xymon
server. Can I only use Downtime for Network tests?

Right now now I have this line, but I am still getting alerts on weekends

10.51.0.203 bosutil.domainname.com # smtp
DOWNTIME=ALC1:5:2300:2359:check_op_con,ALC2:5:2300:2359:check_op_con,ALC1:0:0000:1200:check_op_con,ALC1:6:0000:2359:check_op_con,ALC2:0:0000:1200:check_op_con,ALC2:6:0000:2359:check_op_con,mq:0:0300:1000:snapshots

I don't believe it's only for network tests; should work for all tests.

This all looks OK to me.  It says to me that you want the server to be in
"downtime" state from Friday 11pm to Sunday midday.  What day/time are you
getting alerts?

Just a hint, you can specify multiple tests in one DOWNTIME specification.
So for example:

DOWNTIME=ACL1,ACL2:5:2300:2359:check_op_con,...

I doubt this would help though, but might shorten your config a bit.
Interestingly, an example in the Changes file uses a semicolon instead of a
comma to separate the different DOWNTIME specifications, so perhaps see if
that helps.

Have you looked at the "info" page for the server?  It should show what
Xymon thinks are the down-times for that server.  Can you confirm that this
page matches your expectations?

I will look at the info this weekend.
My expectation is to NOT to receive any alerts about these ALC on weekends,
but I still do, and all the recipients of alerts related to this specific
server are getting them.
I will also organize them as you suggested, thank you.

It's still not working, I also changed it in the shorter format you
suggested, but still nothing.
It's supposed to NOT alert me right now but it does.... [PURPLE] Stopped
Reporting.
I'd like it to be blue instead until Sunday midday

so I eventually figured this out and I had to upgrade to build 19 or 20
maybe, because the DOWNTIME parameter wasn't doing it for purple, only for
red or yellow. Once I upgraded, it's flawlessly now, no more weekend email
floods :)
