Thanks for the advice. Those issues don't seem to apply here. The definition is pretty straight forward:
10.10.1.155 formfusion # conn nopropred:msgs http://formfusion.ad.marist.edu downtime=*:0050:0115:"Regular service restart"
The history should show it going blue from 00:50 to 01:15 each night, but it doesn't. Alerts periodically get generated too.
DOWNTIME will convert yellow/red alerts to blue during the specified time. If there is no alert, the status will stay green over the DOWNTIME period.
I did check it with hobbitd_alert as you suggested. Without the time option, it shows a match. When I use the time option, i.e. --time 1245373200 there is no match. That suggests to me that we should never get an alert during that time. Yet we do, 2 or 3 times a week. Nearly always at 1:05.
Give this a try (downtime must in be capital letters):
DOWNTIME=*:0050:0115:"Regular service restart"
