The default settings require 7 days of successful pings before
the blackout period applies. See the $Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit}
and $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} settings. Set $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt}
to 0 to make the blackout apply immediately.
Look at the top of the host summary for HOSTA. You should see some
text that explains whether the machine is subject to blackout, eg:
- Pings to HOSTA have succeeded 9 consecutive times.
- Because HOSTA has been on the network at least 7 consecutive
times, it will not be backed up from 7:00 to 22:00 on Mon,
Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri.
If the ping count is less than $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} then the
blackout doesn't apply.
