Well it is almost same as putting the TIME parameter in hobbit-alerts.cfg in
the sense that, I cannot say why the service should be ignored.

In DOWNTIME=6:1730:2030:"Backup running"

I cannot use that "cause" string with TIME either.

Plus it could be much simpler to define 2 hrs routine outage with
DOWNTIME for a specific service than the other 22 hrs when it should
be running using TIME parameters, specially when the outage does not
happend at the begin or end of the timerange, but in the middle.

Hence requesting a feature

DOWNTIME=day:starttime:endtime:TESTname:"cause"

How about the TIME parameter for that host in hobbit-clients.cfg (before
the 'regular' one for that host)?

Is it possible to define DOWNTIME just for a service like `disk' instead
of the all services of a host

For example:

   1.2.3.4 <http://1.2.3.4>;      oracle.domain.com
<http://oracle.domain.com>; # DOWNTIME=6:1800:2030

does not mention any service name.

Is its still same w/ hobbit 4.2?

Would be nice if I could add the service name like this

   1.2.3.4 <http://1.2.3.4>;      oracle.domain.com
<http://oracle.domain.com>; # DOWNTIME=disk:6:1800:2030

This host's disk space goes way above threshold for about 2 hrs on
Saturdays
as a normal behavior

I could use the TIME parameter on hobbit-alerts.cfg to define the time
outside that timeframe
to be alerted only, but that won't stop it being `red' on the web.
