hi,
we have xymon 4.2.2. We want to stop all alerts at a time for some
maintainance. How that can be done in one go?

The disable page has a list box for service names and host names. "ALL"
is at the top of both lists.

Beware that this will reset any hosts you have temporarily disabled for
some reason and replace their disabled state with the new
information/duration.

1. mv ~/etc/alerts.cfg /var/tmp
2. Do work
3. mv /var/tmp/alerts.cfg ~/etc/alerts.cfg

With no alerts file, it will not send a thing.
Crude, but quick. :-)

You should be able to add "DISABLED" to the [alerts] section in tasks.cfg, like this:

[alert]
	DISABLED
	ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
	NEEDS xymond
	CMD xymond_channel --channel=page  --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/alert.log xymond_alert --checkpoint-file=$XYMONTMP/alert.chk --checkpoint-interval=600


I have a couple of other posts to the list to get confirmation that this still works, but haven't gotten any replies.

Hi,

I'd like to disable one service on all machines temporarily. For one machine I  use
./bb $BBDISP "disable `hostname`.<service> some text  like 12h night an weekend no test"
Of course I can do this for every host  but I wonder if there is a one-liner for disabling the service on all machines.  I read in an older posting that the web-interface hobbit-enadis.sh should show "ALL" as an option both for hosts and tests, but in our case (xymon 4.3.0) it doesn't show an option  "ALL" in the field "hosts" but only in "tests",

thanks for hints

Rolf

Highlight all then select the service you want to disable in the right-hand column.

Hi Michael,

that is possible, of course, I was just curious if there is a build-in 
solution. And it is, even within the web interface, Malcolm showed me 
(thanks)

Write a script that reads bb-hosts to generate a list of hostnames, 
and loop through them calling your disable

Try below
(Change testname and textblabla and add parameters accordingly)

~server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=xxx
fields=hostname,testname" |while read L; do HOST=`echo $L | cut -d'|'
-f1` TEST=`echo $L | cut -d'|' -f2` `~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "status
$HOST.$TEST blue textblabla"`; done
