Hi,

I have installed xymon-4.3.11-10.el6.x86_64 from the Terabithia server on RedHat EL6. The acknowledgement of multiple alerts is not working correctly. That means, that the selection of hours and days is not working.

When I acknowledge a single alert and I select a period of 3 hours, this is correctly stored as 180 minutes in the acknowledge.log. But when I select multiple alerts with the checkboxes, all numbers are interpreted as minutes, no matter if I select hours or days.

Hi Dirk, I am using Xymon 4.3.10 on Gentoo Linux, and can corroborate your experience.

I have 4 tests red currently. My Ack page form is like so:

HOST Test Duration Cause Ack Multiple host1 conn 1 min testing checked host2 conn 2 hours testing checked host3 conn 3 days testing checked host4 sslcert empty empty checked

Global ack line: 40 hours Testing Global ACK ---> click Send

acknowledge.log (stripped to prevent wrapping)

timestamp duration Host

1372954556 1 Host1 1372954556 2 Host2 1372954556 3 Host3 1372954556 40 Host4

So that kind of verifies that as you stated, but in my case all acks in a multiple ack are treated as seconds regardless of the dropdown (mins, hours, days) selected.

But wait, there is more... :)

If I click the back button in the browser, and then just click the multiple ack send button without making any changes to the ack page fields the acknowledge.log shows the following:

timestamp duration Host

1372954603 60 Host1 1372954603 120 Host2 1372954603 180 Host3 1372954603 2400 Host4

So it appears to be broken, but in a way that is strange... First attempt seems to treat all durations as seconds, all subsequent resend of same settings seems to treat all durations as minutes.
