Greetings all,

I have been trying to figure this out and I think I am missing something real obvious.

I am trying to ignore an event when a series of servers do some backups and the http test gets triggered for a second Sunday Morning at 3:35AM or 0835UTC.

Here is the rule in hobbit-alerts.cfg

HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 COLOR=red SERVICE=http
        IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845

But I get still get paged.

Here is what I get when I run:

./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test S1 http

00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Matching host:service:page 'S1:http:' against rule line 81
2009-12-29 18:02:45 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 7:0830:0845
00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Failed 'IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845' (time criteria)

In the hobbit manual there is an example that shows a similar rule set for Thursday using day 4:0000:0000 so I believe Sunday should be day 7?
If I change the day to 6 I don't get that error in the --test output.

Thanks and HNY!

I believe it is the same as UNIX:

0 - 6   0 = Sunday
	  1 = Monday
	  2 = Tuesday
	  3 = Wednesday
	  4 = Thursday
	  5 = Friday
	  6 = Saturday
	  * = All Days

         Thanks,

#man hobbit-clients
TIME=timespecification  Rule  matching an alert by the time-of-day. This
is specified as the DOWNTIME timespecification in the bb-hosts file.

#man bb-hosts
/DOWNTIME
The syntax for DOWNTIME is the same as the one used by the NKTIME
parameter.

/NKTIME
NKTIME=day:starttime:endtime[,day:starttime:endtime]
day-of-week: W means Mon-Fri ("weekdays"), * means all days, 0 .. 6 =
Sunday .. Saturday.  Listing multiple days is possible, e.g. "60" is
valid meaning "Saturday and Sunday"


Days are 0-6, Sunday thru Saturday....

:)

Cheers
Tom

DOWNTIME is want you want, the client is automagically placed into maintenance mode (blue) for the time period specified.  Other users of the hobbit system can see the downtime configuration via a web browser (ie. if you've got a noc team watching the display).  Ignore is not needed in this configuration, only the hosts entry.

Example:

 From the hosts file:
1.1.1.1 servername                   # "DOWNTIME=*:*:2200:0730:Nightly Reboot"

Displayed on the 'info' page for the host above.
Planned downtime:	All days:*:2200:0730:Nightly Reboot


This works well for us, using hobbit-4.2.0.


Good luck,


Tim
