I would like to migrate my notifications rules from BB Server to Hobbit / Xymon Server. I use the following BB syntax extensively:

You can also write rules to exclude recipients based on the

previous syntax. Just prefix with ! and any recipient

specified in the rule line will be removed from the

list of recipients that matches the regular rules

for all hosts don't send any notifications from=20

12AM to 6AM and 8PM to 12AM

!*;;*;;*;0000-0600 2000-2359;*

If you only want to send alerts between 6AM and 8PM, then TIME=*:0600:2000 will do that. Alternatively, an "EXTIME=*:2000:0600" has the same effect (a more direct conversion of this rule).

!host*;;*;;0 6;*;robert at localhost

HOST=* EXHOST=%^host MAIL robert at localhost

!host1;;*;;*;*;*

HOST=* EXHOST=host1

The latter two don't really need the "HOST=*" since that is the default. But some (myself included) find it easier to read when you explicitly write "ALL hosts, EXCEPT ..."
