Re: Bug#551730: mon: [PATCH] Use ISO8601 dates in alert messages

Please, consider it's inclusion. snip Is this *really* such a problem? Given mon's userbase over all this time, I don't recall anyone saying it was breaking their setup... If its an issue for month, it must be also for day, again, nobody has complained AFAIK that it breaks their setup. I think having the day is important to many, so leaving month and therefor current format would be more appropriate. For me, it's -1 on this patch. -- Res ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
Re: Scheduled downtime functionality

Log into mon and disable what I'm working on before the alerts start flying. Log into mon and re-enable what I was working on, so the alerts will fly. Don't we all :) I'm currently planning to implement this as a second process that continuously reads a flat csv file containing what,when,how long\n. Then issues the appropriate disable or enable commands to the mon server. Would implementing such functionality in the mon server itself be more efficient? Absolutely yes, IMHO it is the only place to add such a function, since it is the governing process. -- Res Time to change the Australian Data Cable and Wiring Laws.

Can we setup a cvs mailing list that gets the patches, or some type of status report summarizing changes over the last month? The wiki page looks good, btw, although it would probably be good to add something, anything, as the current events page. This can be bad, I for one shy away from software that has releases and updates ever few weeks, something that doesnt get updated for a year or longer has better chance of being implimented because of what a previous poater said, you install Mon, configure Mon, start Mon, and then forget about it. The only time i've touched it in recent times is to add more machines to its watch list :) -- Cheers Res ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

I don't want to step on any toes, but I was wondering . . . if I were to add a user documentation section parallel to the man pages and readme, would that be approved of? Would others look at it, add to it, correct I can't see why not, anything that benefits everybody surely must be welcome.
