Lee, I did something similar, but instead of doing an ignore on the alert, I put the server into a downtime for the window.
DOWNTIME=cam:60:0000:2400:Offline2,cam:W:1930:0830:Offline
The first one puts service cam into downtime all day saturday and sunday, and the second does it all Weekdays 730p to 830a
Hope that helps and thanks for the link in your email, I'm checking out Glance now :)

Greetings all, I have been trying to figure this out and I think I am missing something real obvious. I am trying to ignore an event when a series of servers do some backups and the http test gets triggered for a second Sunday Morning at 3:35AM or 0835UTC. Here is the rule in hobbit-alerts.cfg HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 COLOR=red SERVICE=http IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845 But I get still get paged.
Here is what I get when I run: ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test S1 http 00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Matching host:service:page 'S1:http:' against rule line 81 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): 7:0830:0845 00052836 2009-12-29 18:02:45 Failed 'IGNORE HOST=S1,S2,S3,S4 SERVICE=http TIME=7:0830:0845' (time criteria) In the hobbit manual there is an example that shows a similar rule set for Thursday using day 4:0000:0000 so I believe Sunday should be day 7? If I change the day to 6 I don't get that error in the --test output. Thanks and HNY! Lee J.
