I'm just starting to use Hobbit for monitoring. The DOWNTIME tag I have a question with. I had this:
129.21.35.49 sc3oracle02 # ssh oracle:COBDPROD DOWNTIME=*:0244:0546:Backups COMMENT:"<font size=-1>cobddb</font>
The Database went down at 2:45am, however things went Red. I see this in the hobbitd.log:
2006-09-28 02:44:33 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
2006-09-28 02:44:37 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
2006-09-28 02:44:41 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
2006-09-28 02:44:41 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
2006-09-28 02:44:46 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
2006-09-28 02:44:47 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
2006-09-28 02:44:49 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
2006-09-28 02:44:49 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
So I thought maybe it was Backups was not quoted, so I changed it to:
129.21.35.49 sc3oracle02 # ssh oracle:COBDPROD DOWNTIME=*:0244:0546:"Backups" COMMENT:"<font size=-1>cobddb</font>
I then extended the Endtime and shutdown the DB, I still got this error:
2006-09-28 08:11:32 Invalid timespec - expected 4 digits, got: 'Backups'
However this time it appeared that it was blue and disabled.
My question is more of a clarification. I have not tried to put in DOWNTIME=oracle:*:0244:0546:"Backups"
Can someone clear up what is happening and how it should work?
Thanks.
