Observium does, in places, shorten the hostname for display efficiency, that may just be the case here.
Funnily enough I've only ever used "Ignore until okay" and never "Ignore until <date>" so I can't chime in :o

Tony,
Are you certain that you don't have two devices declared within Observium?
Your screenshots show one device with a FQDN (which you have set ignore on) and another device with just the short hostname (which is alerting).

These alerts should have the “suppressed” state, the code seems correct to handle this : if ($device['ignore_until']) { $device['ignore_until_time'] = strtotime($device['ignore_until']); if ($device['ignore_until_time'] > time()) { $alert_suppressed = TRUE; $suppressed[] = "DEV_U"; } } The second image is showing old/deprecated “status” widgets. These pre-date the alerting system. They’re mostly just retained for the people who were using them when we switched to the current alerting system. I can probably extend ignore_until to these, but at present it probably doesn’t interact with them.

- Pick a server, go to properties/alerts.
- Set “ignore until” to 1 hr in the future
- Shutdown that server
After the server shut down and a poling cycle passed, the observium screen shows <image004.jpg> And <image005.jpg> *From:*observium observium-bounces@observium.org*On Behalf Of*Adam Armstrong via observium *Sent:*Monday, April 18, 2022 1:10 PM *To:*Observium observium@observium.org *Cc:*Adam Armstrong adama@observium.org *Subject:*Re: [Observium] how does "ignore until" under device/alert settings work?...looking for a "in maintenance" mode for a device What do you mean by “still get alerted”?

If I toggle the “disable notifications” , I do not get the notifications anymore…however, it stays disabled past the “ignore until” time How is this feature supposed to work? I am looking for a way to put a device in “maintenance mode” so that if I am upgrading etc…no alerts are generated and no notifications are sent. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
