[Xymon] TS - Maintenance Mode for a group of hosts?

You should be able to go into the Administration -> Enable/disable menu, select multiple hosts (ctrl-click for individual selection, shift-click for a top to bottom selection), and then put in a start/stop, duration and "reason".

I have a request to take an entire area of hosts and place setup a maintenance window starting at a certain time and for say 3 hours.

Is there a script that I can send it a list and have it place all of the devices in maintenance mode?

All corporate servers will require a window of 3 hours at 6pm tonight.

Also, is there any option on the HOST line that will not show up (like an actual comment not the COMMENT: entry) that can be used to select them from.

e.g. the word 'CORP' in the options like that will normally be ignored by Xymon?

I am running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2.

Also, is there a way to show the COMMENT or DESCRIPTION on the line like it does in the non-green view under this release?

Thanks,
