TIME syntax question

Trying to find the actual syntax for the TIME specification in alerts.cfg So something like TIME=*:1200:2100 only sends that alerts during that time, 7 days a week. I assume the * is for day of the week. So if you only wanted to send it Monday - Friday, what is the syntax for it? Is it like cron where I can put 1-5 in there like TIME=1-5:1200:2100 or am I totally off base? Thanks in advance.

acknowledgements does not survive xymon restart

Experts: I have a new fairly large xymon environment (4.3.28 with >10k servers), and of course there are always a lot of alerts acknowledged. Unfortunately all these acks are resetted if i restart the xymon daemon (xymon.sh restart) to activate config changes f.e. This is the same if i use the "Acknowledge alert" from the menu or the (undocumented) "xymondack" feature of xymon. This leads to a lot of extra effort and confusion... Any ideas how i can save the ack situation and restore it after a restart? Norbert

What config changes are you making that requires such frequent restarts? Changes to hosts.cfg, alerts.cfg, analysis.cfg, client-local.cfg; these are files that get changed most frequently in my environment. None of which require a restart to pick up the changes. I think the only one that *does* need a restart, would be xymonserver.cfg, and the only component that would need to be restarted would be xymond, not the full stack. Erik D.

Hello Damien, There is a little bug in the script /usr/sbin/hpacucli ctrl all show config | grep drive logicaldrive 1 (273.4 GB, RAID 1+0, OK) physicaldrive 2I:1:1 (port 2I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 146.8 GB, OK) physicaldrive 2I:1:2 (port 2I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 146.8 GB, OK) physicaldrive 2I:1:3 (port 2I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 146.8 GB, OK) physicaldrive 2I:1:4 (port 2I:box 1:bay 4, SAS, 146.8 GB, OK) physicaldrive 2I:1:5 (port 2I:box 1:bay 5, SAS, 146.8 GB, OK, spare) /usr/sbin/hpacucli ctrl all show config | grep drive | awk '{print $NF}' | sed s/\)// OK OK OK OK OK Spare So the sparedisk is reported as bad 😊 My change below: STATUS=$(echo $OUTPUT | awk '{print $NF}' | sed s/\)//) if [ "$STATUS" == "spare" ] ; then STATUS=$(echo $OUTPUT | cut -d',' -f4 | sed 's/ //g') fi -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Steffan <mailinglist at tikklik.nl> Verzonden: donderdag 11 oktober 2018 16:22 Aan: 'xymon at xymon.com' <xymon at xymon.com> Onderwerp: xymon at xymon.com Hello Damien, I treid your script. When running in testmode it works fine. It is creating /var/lib/xymon/tmp/xymon-hardware.msg But when running as a deamon i am getting /bin/cat: /var/lib/xymon/tmp/xymon-hardware.msg: No such file or directory Any idees?
