Hi all,
I have a small group of servers that have regularly scheduled maintenance every Thursday and Saturday. They all have 3 sets of processes to be monitored with different blackout periods. So one set is 24x7, no blackout (simple), another set has a blackout period that starts earlier than the other (around 6PM), and the last set has a blackout period that starts later than the other (around 8PM).
I thought about using GROUP to group all the early processes together and the same for the late processes. Now how do I specify a DOWNTIME entry in the bb-hosts file? From the bb-hosts man page DOWNTIME=[columns:]day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:ca use]. If I put procs in the DOWNTIME columns, will Hobbit know to use the GROUP functions described in hobbit-alerts.cfg?
Any help/insight would be appreciated Thanks -Grs- Gregory R Shea EMC Corporation
