Hi folks,
I'm running 4.3.10 at the moment on Linux and have a question about the DOWNTIME parameter in hosts.cfg.
- From the man page of hosts.cfg:
DOWNTIME=day:starttime:endtime[,day:starttime:endtime] DOWNTIME=columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause[,columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause] This tag can be used to ignore failed checks during specific times of the day - e.g. if you run services that are only monitored e.g. Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, or you always reboot a server every Monday between 5 and 6 pm.
What happens is that if a test fails during the specified time, itis reported with status BLUE instead of yellow or red. Thus you can still see when the service was unavailable, but alarms will not be triggered and the downtime is not counted in the availability calculations generated by the Xymon reports.
Can someone confirm that this only works for red and yellow alerts but not for the purple ones? Can this behaviour be adjusted somewhere? Except for setting the status lifetime in the scripts of course.
Thanks Torsten
