Is it possible to add a reason of outage to a historical alert? The
alert is not present anymore but would
be nice if I could add the reason going back, for recording purpose.

Thanks

I don't think so, we are doing monthly outage report using in house
script with manual efforts to put in outage reason and outage impact
etc.

I think your questions can be submitted as RFE here,

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=128058&atid=710491

log it and hopefully someday someone will work on this RFE.

while I do the submit, is it possible to share how you do it manually?
can the reason be viewed from within hobbit after you add the reason?

Sure.
1. we have a script run as a cron job to run at last day of each month.
2. the script scan through the data/hist/*.conn files and pick out
outage in that month.
3. generate a csv file and send it to operations team.
4. use excel to import csv file and adding outage reason and impact columns.
can the reason be viewed from within hobbit after you add the reason?
Nope but I hope so too. programming effort is needed to achieve this goal.
