Latest snapshot - DOWNTIME applied to individual tests
Hi again Henrik
I'm trying to use the new DOWNTIME settings. From the Changelog :
- DOWNTIME can now be applied to individual tests, and you can specify a text explaining why the service is down. The new format in the bb-hosts file is: DOWNTIME=columns:days:starttime:endtime:cause If you have more than one service that you want to set the downtime for, "column" can be "*" to match all services, or you can define multiple downtime-settings: "DOWNTIME=http,ftp:*:0300:0315:CMS update;*:0:0200:0210:Reboot"
I added this to a host : DOWNTIME=*:*:1000:1600:Test
In the 'info' colum, that appeared correctly : Planned downtime:All days:*:1000:1600:Test
Sent (with BBwin 0.7) a red status which appeared as... red, and an alert was sent.
Maybe I'm not using DOWNTIME the right way ?
Another thing, adding a space in the cause field seems not to work.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I cannot reproduce this here. I tried adding this to my bb-hosts:
172.16.10.100 localhost # "DOWNTIME=*:*:1000:1600:Test af downtime" telnet
(it doesn't run telnet). Status appeared as blue, as expected.
NOTE: The hobbitd daemon must reload the bb-hosts file before these changes take effect - something that happens only once every 10 minutes. So if you have just added this entry, then it may show up as red for a few minutes.
You can force a reload by sending a SIGHUP to the hobbitd process.
Regards, Henrik

Hi Henrik
thanks, it works fine with a SIGHUP ;-)
But adding this entry in bb-hosts :
10.50.8.55 fmangeant # "DOWNTIME=*:*:1000:1600:Test af downtime" telnet
gives this under the 'info' column :
Planned downtime:All days:*:1000:1600:Test
It should have been "Test af downtime"...

"Test of downtime" needs to be in quotes.
Thanks, Larry Barber

I've tried :
10.50.8.55 fmangeant # "DOWNTIME=*:*:1000:1800:"Test af downtime"" ftp 10.50.8.55 fmangeant # "DOWNTIME=*:*:1000:1800:Test af downtime" ftp 10.50.8.55 fmangeant # "DOWNTIME=*:*:1000:1800:'Test af downtime'" ftp
But under the 'info' column, I only get the 1st word of the comment.

Try:
10.50.8.55 fmangeant # DOWNTIME=*:*:1000:1800:"Test af downtime" ftp
I don't think that it is necessary to enclose the whole thing in quotation marks.
Thanks, Larry Barber

There's something screwy with the quoting in bb-hosts. Need to get that fixed.

Apparently it's only a display-thing. This patch should fix it.
