We're running the 4.3.0.0-beta2 level of Xymon, but saw this problem with the previous beta level too. The downtime option in bb-hosts does not seem to work for servers that are running a Xymon client. No matter how you set it (i.e. what days or times), the tests never go blue. It does show up as planned downtime when you display the "Info" about the server, but it never actually happens. (Consequently, alerts are generated during the outage time.)
The downtime option works fine for servers that are not running a client, though.
Has anyone else seen this? I suspect this is a bug. Any ideas how to work around it?
