DOWNTIME for disk
Is it possible to define DOWNTIME just for a service like `disk' instead of the all services of a host
For example:
1.2.3.4 oracle.domain.com # DOWNTIME=6:1800:2030
does not mention any service name.
Is its still same w/ hobbit 4.2?
Would be nice if I could add the service name like this
1.2.3.4 oracle.domain.com # DOWNTIME=disk:6:1800:2030
This host's disk space goes way above threshold for about 2 hrs on Saturdays as a normal behavior
I could use the TIME parameter on hobbit-alerts.cfg to define the time outside that timeframe to be alerted only, but that won't stop it being `red' on the web.

How about the TIME parameter for that host in hobbit-clients.cfg (before the 'regular' one for that host)?

From the man pages. I think you have to specify a cause if you specify a column.
DOWNTIME=[columns:]day:starttime:endtime:cause[,day:starttime:endtime:cause] This tag can be used to ignore failed checks during specific times of the day - e.g. if you run services that are only monitored e.g. Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, or you always reboot a server every Monday between 5 and 6 pm.
What happens is that if a test fails during the specified time, it is reported with status BLUE instead of yellow or red. Thus you can still see when the service was unavailable, but alarms will not be triggered and the downtime is not counted in the availability calculations generated by the Hobbit reports.
The "columns" setting is optional - it may be a comma-separated list of status columns in which case the DOWNTIME setting only applies to these columns.
The "cause" string (optional) is a text that will be displayed on the status web page to explain thy the system is down.
The syntax for DOWNTIME is the same as the one used by the NKTIME parameter.

David,
Wow! that feature is already available? I run man bb-hosts and I did not see the `column' argument for DOWTIME parameter. Are you running a new beta release or something?

I beleive it was available of from the all-in-one patch. After installing the patch, it updated the OS man pages but not in the Hobbit location, so I had to copy the man page from the OS man page directory to the Hobbit man page location (~hobbit/www/help/man). Then run man2html on the man page to make it html form.

It was accidentally left out of the man-page. There's even a patch for it at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/patches/
