Hey everyone,
I'm having problems with the DOWNTIME: tag on a host as it appears not to be working. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

That syntax looks right.
Unfortunately, I think it's just broken. I've been fighting this all week. I've tried DOWNTIME, TIME on the HOST line of hobbit-alerts.cfg, TIME with IGNORE. I've tried it with a bogus alarm, and with procs. I had it working with a bogus alarm, but it always ignores procs.
bbcmd hobbitd_alerts .... parses it correctly, and you think you're going to get what you want. But then 2:11am the oncall is still paged.
I have this on Solaris 10 (in a zone) with Hobbit 4.2.0 and yesterday upgraded to Xymon 4.2.2. Same deal.

I don't want to answer my PDA every night at 6pm because of a stupid backup job overloading the CPU and DB. :( There has to be a way to get this to work...

Hi Jason,
I use the following with no issues..
DOWNTIME=6:*:0200:0500:Maintenance
So I presume something like the following works:
DOWNTIME=*:cpu,mysql:1800:1830:Backups

This works for me (customer powers off their DSL modem at the end of the day, on in the morning)
1.3.3.7 foo.bar # testip DOWNTIME=0:0000:2359,W:1830:0730,6:0830:2359
I do remember running into some issues with the syntax and the comma separation. You can search the archives for my email address and DOWNTIME if you're really interested.
Not sure how to do every day of the week, but this is the time/cause you want:
DOWNTIME=?:1755:1815:doingbkp

I'm getting close.
What just worked for me in hobbit-alerts.cfg, was:
HOST=%$HG-VSNL COLOR=red,purple DURATION>7 TIME=*:1100:1030 MAIL $NG-IM-ADMIN MAIL $NG-IM-ONCALL FORMAT=SMS
So send alerts from 11:00 am to 10:30 am every day.
What I'm trying right now is:
HOST=%$HG-VSNL COLOR=red,purple DURATION>7 MAIL $NG-IM-ADMIN IGNORE SERVICE=procs TIME=*:1110:1130 MAIL $NG-IM-ONCALL FORMAT=SMS
So the email would come, but the page wouldn't happen, and only on procsm between 11:10 and 11:30 am. I've had trouble with this, but that was when the machine was in a large group, so I'm splitting it to it's own group (with it's backup server).
The former should work for you. It should look like:
HOST=<HOSTNAME> SERVICE=cpu,mysql COLOR=red DURATION>7 TIME=*:1800:1900 MAIL <WHEREVER> FORMAT=SMS
Test it with
bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test <HOSTNAME> cpu --duration=8 time=1229646890
the time value is in epochtime. That number is seconds. It's roughly 6:30 pm CST.

Since I'm using the * the time stamp wraps around.
It just worked, the way I wanted it. I forced a red condition during a ignore time window, and I got the email during the window, after the window expired, the page came through.
Looks like other emails said your format was wrong. Someone had the format DAY:SERVICE:START:END:COMMENT. That doesn't match up with the web page man pages.
What I have down here worked 1 hour ago on Xymon 4.2.2 compiled on Solaris 10 8/07 in a zone.
