Hi,
> Blackout also depends on that host having at least BlackoutGoodCnt successful
> pings. If you've just set up this host it won't have met that condition.
Haven't added this host, but it powers down every night and starts
shortly after 6. So yes, the $Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} was set to
default value of three. $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} on the default (7), too.
So it needed 7 successful pings (which only occur at
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} times, right?) before the blackout took place.
All together it's pretty complicated as $Conf{IncrPeriod} comes into
place, too.
So I have a host with $Conf{IncrPeriod} set to 0.97 (once a day) with
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt}=7. Assuming the host will be online 24/7 it would
take seven days now until $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} will be taken into
account. Once the ping has failed for three consecitive times (re to the
default of 3 for $Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit}) during
$Conf{WakeupSchedule}, the counter of the good pings will be reset and
it'll need again seven days to take the blackout into account. Ok, got
it so far.
In my case, the box was offline for usually 6-8 hours. So the good ping
count was reset every night as it wakes up hourly during the night.
I now increased the $Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} to 9 which shouldn't
reset the counter daily, but will still reset in case the machine is off
for more than only the night.
Thanks for the hints.
Greetings
Christian
