I have a device that shuts down at 7:30pm and comes back up at 7:30am. What is the best way to disable this host every single night?
I would like it to be marked as disabled during this time, but I definitely do not want the bb.html, bb2.html and bb.wml showing up red - red is bad! I also need it to stop sending email alerts.
Would DOWNTIME= be what am I looking for? If so can someone explain how the day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:cause] gets filled it?
I need it to be every weekday in the evenings and nights as well as every weekend.
Thanks in advance!

I had almost the same issue : do not display databases connection errors during the night backup, here we go :
ip.ip.ip.ip name # conn foo bar NAME:"Nice Name" DOWNTIME=*:1930:0730:MyReason
That's it ;)
LMJ,
Excellent! That answers half my question - but now I need to disable it all day on the weekends; can you have two time frames in one downtime statement?

However that second one didn't disable the host, should it be as it is obviously within that time frame?
Note that with DOWNTIME, the hosts will only go blue (disabled) if they are actually detected as being down. So if you're just rebooting them (which takes a couple of minutes) then you may not see anything blue during the period.
Of course, there should not be anything red.
Regards Henrik
If memory serves, when I was configuring DOWNTIME I found that if you specify the optional reason you must also specify the optional service. Could be mistaken, of course...this is what works for me:
DOWNTIME=*:6:0125:0225:"reason goes here"
Cheers.

Strange...I am going to try out:
DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359:OffSunday,W:1930:0730:nightlyoff,6:0830:2359:OffSaturday
tonight as Henrik suggested (which to my understand is just a shorter version). The host in question is definitely down between those times and was down this morning at 2AM when I was watching it. Thing still wouldn't go blue, hmm...
Thanks for the help guys, I'll let you know what happens probably on Sunday.

Very weird..
The device in question went down/up for 12 minutes outside of the time frame specified by the DOWNTIME statement. After it went down hobbitd complained with the following error, minutes afterward the device did come back up. The error still stands.

However that second one didn't disable the host, should it be as it is obviously within that time frame?

Does it change if you remove the "OffSaturday" text, i.e. just "W:0830:2359"

I dropped the comments at the end of each of the three statements so it is now:

It has been working perfectly since Saturday. It seems that the DOWNTIME tag doesn't agree with the comment field.
