[zenoss-users] Re: Maintenance Windows not working properly?

[crosse]

I know what you must all be thinking.  "Oh no, another post about maintenance windows!  Will he ever stop?!?" ;-)

Don't worry, this is a happy post (mostly)!  For a while something has been nagging at me about how I have my windows set up...see, I have a few windows that happen daily on specific sub-systems (/Systems/Blackboard, for example) and those always work.  But my one global blackout window (set on the root, /Systems) for Sunday reboots would never work--devices would enter the window but never get their state reset at the end of the window.

Well, before I left for Christmas I had a brainstorm.  I added all my devices to a sub-system at /Systems/AllSystems, and set my Sunday reboot window on that sub-system instead of on the root of /Systems.  Guess what?  It works like a champ.

I'll let everyone breathe a collective sigh of relief that this thread is finally (hopefully) going to die in the near future. ;-)

So....it looks like the issue is setting a maintenance window on the root /Systems object.  Can anyone confirm that this is the behavior that they see as well?
