Hi all,

I would like to migrate my notifications rules from BB Server to Hobbit / Xymon Server. I use the following BB syntax extensively:

You can also write rules to exclude recipients based on the

previous syntax. Just prefix with ! and any recipient

specified in the rule line will be removed from the

list of recipients that matches the regular rules

for all hosts don't send any notifications from

12AM to 6AM and 8PM to 12AM

!*;;*;;*;0000-0600 2000-2359;*

for all hosts that start with host, don't send any

notifications on sat & sun to robert at localhost

!host*;;*;;0 6;*;robert at localhost

To temporarely disable notifications for a host

!host1;;*;;*;*;*

Is there any equivalent to this in Hobbit? I can't see one in the man pages. This is very useful for making sure people don't get woken up in the middle of the night for issues that are non-critical at night time Or for certain people who just should never get alerts at night time or the weekend (or outside office hours). Is the best solution a macro that one uses instead of an e-mail address in the MAIL lines, where the macro contains a TIME=timespecification rule?

Many thanks,

SebA
