It the best way to create an escalation to do it:

                
HOST=abc.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED

                                # EVERYDAY Notify immediately and every
10 minutes

                                MAIL user-f55a5d8949ef@xymon.invalid      COLOR=red
REPEAT=10m

HOST=abc.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED TIME=1-5:0000-2359 DURATION>59m

                                 # WEEKDAY  Notify weekdays after 1 hour
and every hour

                                 MAIL user-798c0a3e2e46@xymon.invalid  COLOR=red
REPEAT=60m

HOST=abc.com SERVICE=conn TIME=0,6 RECOVERED DURATION>179m

                                 # WEEKEND  Notify after 3 hours

                                MAIL user-e69d11f3e576@xymon.invalid   COLOR=red REPEAT=7d

HOST=abc.com SERVICE=conn TIME=0,6 RECOVERED DURATION>479m

                                # WEEKEND  Notify after 8 hours

                                 MAIL user-2147a2355e9a@xymon.invalid   COLOR=red
REPEAT=7d

 
I don't believe that the DURATION= can be used on the MAIL line only on
the HOST= line per the help on the web page.

 
Will this work as stated?

If you don't put SERVICE= on the line will it function for all services?
Or do you need something line '=*'?

   
Thanks,

I sent this out 12/4/2009 and got no responses.  Can anyone guide me in
the correct direction?

I also have another request:

                If I have 10 windows servers that reboot every night
between 3-3:30am and I don't want to notify, and wake up, during this
timeframe,

                would I require multiple hobbit-alerts.cfg entries for
that server?  Of the following lines, which will function correctly?

 
                Can I have multiple TIME= options on the HOST= line?

                Also, does the server understand 0000 = midnight? Or
2400?

 
                HOST=def.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED TIME=*:0000:0300
TIME=*:0330:2359

                                MAIL ....

 
                OR  -  Would this also be acceptable?

                HOST=def.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED 

                                MAIL user-21554e0f02c5@xymon.invalid TIME=*:0000:0300
TIME=*:0330:2359

 
OR  -  Would this also be acceptable?

HOST=def.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED 

                                MAIL user-21554e0f02c5@xymon.invalid TIME=*:0000:0300

                                MAIL user-21554e0f02c5@xymon.invalid TIME=*:0330:2359

Tom,
 Here's a snippet from my hobbit-alerts file

PAGE=hometown
        MAIL user-ccc7b6580160@xymon.invalid DURATION>2 color=red REPEAT=120
RECOVERED EXSERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com
        MAIL user-ccc7b6580160@xymon.invalid DURATION>2 color=yellow
REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED EXSERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com
        MAIL user-ccc7b6580160@xymon.invalid DURATION>11 color=red
REPEAT=120 RECOVERED SERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com
        MAIL user-ccc7b6580160@xymon.invalid DURATION>11 color=yellow
REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED SERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com

I think that answers your question from 12/4/2009

 In regards to the nightly reboot, you should put a DOWNTIME into your
bb-hosts file, so during that time frame it'll go blue instead of red

0000 is midnight in hobbit/xymon

Paul Nixon,
	Thanks for the appropriate answers, I did not find the DOWNTIME= option
		in the help portion of the screen.
	But I did find it in the bb-hosts man page.
	I'll give it a try ASAP!
