Lynn,

I've not seen an EXTIME but TIME conforms to the NKTIMES formatting listed in hosts.cfg:

NKTIME=day:starttime:endtime[,day:starttime:endtime] This tag limits the time when an active alert is presented on the NK web page.

          By  default,  tests with a red or yellow status that are

listed in the "NK:testname" tag will appear on the NK page. However, you may not want the test to be shown outside of normal working hours - if, for example, the host is not being serviced during week-ends.

          You  can then use the NKTIME tag to define the time periods

where the alert will show up on the NK page.

          The time specification consists of

          day-of-week: W means Mon-Fri ("weekdays"), * means all days,

0 .. 6 = Sunday .. Satur‐ day. Listing multiple days is possible, e.g. "60" is valid meaning "Saturday and Sun‐ day".

          starttime: Time to start showing errors,  must  be  in

24-hour clock format as HHMM hours/minutes. E.g. for 8 am enter "0800", for 9.30 pm enter "2130"

          endtime: Time to stop showing errors.

          If  necessary,  multiple  periods  can be specified. E.g. to

monitor a site 24x7, except between noon and 1 pm, use NKTIME=*:0000:1159,*:1300:2359

          The interval between start time and end time may cross

midnight, e.g. *:2330:0200 would be valid and have the same effect as *:2330:2400,*:0000:0200.

Attempting to prevent “false” cpu alarms during overnight processing, I have included a line in analysis.cfg thus:

LOAD 4.0 6.0 HOST=blueteam EXTIME=W:2200:0400

However, alarms continue to be generated during the “excluded” hours.

Has anyone else had any difficulty with either TIME or EXTIME entries?

Thanks!
