I upgraded my xymon 4.2.3 server to the version 4.3.0 beta2 in order to test the holidays feature.
After the upgrade I had
to create the hobbit-holidays.cfg file manuallyto add the HOLIDAYFORMAT entry in the hobbitserver.cfg file
After these actions I got the Holiday info in my info pages.
Now I'm wondering if it is possible to use this Holiday information in the planned downtime items of the bb-hosts file.
I did some test buts couldn't include this holidays in the planned downtime.
I configured it like this:
In my hobbit-holidays.cfg file I defined the current day as a test holiday day.
Check: On the info page I see in the Holiday 2010 (be) tabel a "Test Day 03/17" line.
Now I configured planned downtime for this servers in the bb-hosts file:
DOWNTIME=*:W:0600:1600
Check: On the info page I see the info: "Planned downtime: Mon-Fri:0600:1600"
I configured a non active IP address and as I configured HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=0 (in the hobbit-holidays.cfg file)I would expect that this must result in a red alert.
Today (defined as a holiday) should behave as a Sunday.
But I got a planned downtime (bleu) code instead of red.
Can anyone help me?
Or is this holiday list only usable in the hobbit-alerts.cfg and availability (REPORTTIME=W:0700:2000) parameters?

Sorry can't help with holiday issue since I haven't use it myself.
I checked 4.3.0 src tree, hobbit-holidays.cfg is inside hobbitd/etcfiles directory. Not sure why Henrik didn't add HOLIDAYFORMAT into hobbitserver.cfg.DIST file. Maybe this is considered an optional feature ?
Do you think holiday should be enabled by default for 4.3.0 ?

Perhaps I am mis-reading this, but isn't this defined in /etc/hobbit-holidays.cfg?

HOLIDAYFORMAT is defined in hobbtserver.cfg. See http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh?server for example.

Not in my version, I am running 4.3.0-0.beta2.

Judging from the above, I would guess so, never used any earlier versions.
By the way, here is the top portion for this file:
If you want to handle alerts on a holiday
like alerts on sunday set
# HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=0
or like fridays then set
# HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=5
To disable the holiday calculation set
# HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=-1
HOLIDAYLIKEWEEKDAY=-1 # -1= no holiday calculation # 0=handle holidays like sundays # 6=handle holidays like saturdays
So you can disable holidays altogether, or handle in any way you need, to include adding your own even to this file.

Thanks for the info. So the missing line in hobbitserver.cfg is really just a format variable. HOLIDAYFORMAT="%d/%m" # How holiday dates are displayed
To enable/disable holiday alerting, your following lines are the instruction.

SendI've just added this into my own servers hobbitserver.cfg, the default one was %m/%d, I prefer the reverse (the way you've shown in the config entry below).
HOLIDAYFORMAT="%d/%m"
So far no change, I'll let you know if the display/look does change.
By the way, my holidays were added in bb-hosts like this:
You need to define at least the Xymon server itself here.
0.0.0.0 .default. # holidays=us
I changed this to:
You need to define at least the Xymon server itself here.
0.0.0.0 .default. # holidays=US
And now my info page is showing US instead of us.
