Exclude alerts on weekends 🔗 link

Hi all,

 
Just a general Xymon question.   What is the best way to exclude certain
days in Xymon alerts?


For example the statement below will limit alerts to 7AM through 9 PM
but how would I exclude Saturday and Sunday from this same alert?

 
PAGE=%.*/page_name SERVICE=conn COLOR=red TIME=*:0700:2100 mail
user-75ecfc10f124@xymon.invalid  DURATION>50 REPEAT=8h RECOVERED

Believe if you change the * to a W in the TIME argument then you will restrict the alert to Weekdays.

So change:
TIME=*:0700:2100

to:
TIME=W:0700:2100

Believe I saw that in the bb-hosts man page. W for week days or 0-6 for a specific day - useful if you want to IGNORE a particular day, such as Sunday or day and time for scheduled downtime.

You just include only weekdays:

PAGE=%.*/page_name SERVICE=conn COLOR=red TIME=W:0700:2100 mail user-75ecfc10f124@xymon.invalid  DURATION>50 REPEAT=8h RECOVERED

(see NKTIME on bb-hosts man page).
