Hey everyone,
Running into something I don't understand trying to test my alerts.cfg.
I have a line in alerts.cfg like so: HOST=lzbs1101.na.lzb.hq SERVICE=ADUsers TIME=*:0000:0800
And I'm trying to test it out using this command line: xymond_alert --test lzbs1101.na.lzb.hq ADUsers --duration=6 --color-red --time=3:0523:0611
And the result I'm getting back is: Failed 'HOST=lzbs1101.na.lzb.hq SERVICE=ADUsers TIME=*:0000:0800' (time criteria)
Can someone help me understand why it's not matching on time? I have it set to every day between midnight and 8am in alerts.cfg, and the timeframe I'm trying to test is within that window. So why isn't it matching?
--time=TIMESTRING The TIMESTRING parameter is the time-of-day for the alert, expressed as an absolute time in the epoch format (seconds since Jan 1 1970). This is easily obtained with the GNU date utility using the "+%s" output format.
