Monitor IGNORE configs
list Ron Peters
Is there a way to ignore a specific monitor (not the whole system) for a specific time? I know how to turn off warnings for the whole box but didn't see a way to limit a specific one.

Click on the info icon for that host and then select the test and disable options.

Thanks, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. In the bb-hosts file you can set the DOWNTIME for the host for specific days/hours. What I'd like is the same for specific monitors. I have a server that goes high CPU during full backups and I'd like to ignore the CPU warnings during those times but want to keep the rest of the monitors enabled. Is that possible?

Extract of bb-hosts(1):
DOWNTIME=[columns:]day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:cause]
This tag can be used to ignore failed checks during
specific times of the day - e.g. if you run services
that are only monitored e.g. Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, or you
always reboot a server every Monday between 5 and 6 pm.
What happens is that if a test fails during the speci-
fied time, it is reported with status BLUE instead of
yellow or red. Thus you can still see when the service
was unavailable, but alarms will not be triggered and
the downtime is not counted in the availability calcu-
lations generated by the Hobbit reports.
The "columns" setting is optional - it may be a comma-
separated list of status columns in which case the
DOWNTIME setting only applies to these columns.
The "cause" string (optional) is a text that will be
displayed on the status web page to explain thy the
system is down.
The syntax for DOWNTIME is the same as the one used by
the NKTIME parameter.
Example to ignore failed checks for "http" only from 05:25 to 05:30 AM every day, with "Restarting" cause:
DOWNTIME=http:*:0525:0530:Restarting
