Hi all,

I'm monitoring a server that is running xymon client. This host is powered down every night at 11pm, and is powered up every morning at 9am. So, in bb-hosts file on xymon server, I added the following to this host description : toto 1.2.3.4 # test test1 test2 DOWNTIME=*:2300:0900:dodo

But when the host goes down, I still have some red and purple test from it. I'd like to simply ignore its existence during the scheduled downtime. I tried to reverse my DOWNTIME definition as it : DOWNTIME=*:0900:2300:dodo

But nothing changes.

Tks for any help

hi,

Hmm, strange. I use 'DOWNTIME=http*:*:0420:0440:maintenance' and it works for me. Xymon 4.2.3.

Regards.

Do you confirm the DOWNTIME is used in bb-hosts file (server side), and is defined in the same line as the tests I want for this host ?

Looks like your missing the day toto 1.2.3.4 # test test1 test2 DOWNTIME=*:2300:0900:dodo

Man page says: DOWNTIME=[columns:]day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:ca use]

So you should look like this: toto 1.2.3.4 # test test1 test2 DOWNTIME=*:*:2300:0900:dodo
