Question: creating time-objects with fileshipper

[Charlinya]

In our environment we have DB's with different Backup-times. I wanted to create time objects for them via fileshipper, to apply them later with a sync rule. In the sync rules I’m able to connect the imported data with the field time-ranges. So I tried different notations in my csv-sheet because I always thought that the timeranges in icinga2 are some kind of array.

Problem

So instead of getting a timerange that looked like this:

object TimePeriod "TP_5x9" {
    import "legacy-timeperiod"
    display_name = "TP_5x9"
    ranges = {
        "friday"	= "08:00-17:00"
        "monday"	= "08:00-17:00"
        "thursday"	= "08:00-17:00"
        "tuesday"	= "08:00-17:00"
        "wednesday"	= "08:00-17:00"
    }
}

I got something like this:

object TimePeriod "tosnowaok" { 
   import "legacy-timeperiod"
   display_name = "testdb1" 

    ranges = {
               "0"   = "\"00:00-06:10;08:20-24: 00\""
     }
}

Here is an example what my test-csv looked like:

db-instanz;timeperiod
!testdb1!;!"00:00-06:10;08:20-24:00"!
!testdb2!;!"friday" = "00:00-06:10,08:20-24:00";"monday" = "00:00-06:10,08:20-24:00"!
!testdb3!;!"[ "friday" = "00:00-06:10,08:20-24:00", "monday" = "00:00-06:10,08:20-24:00" ]"!

I tried a few things to cover different cases how the fileshipper sets the time ranges and if there is any way to link the days to the times.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

I didn’t find any documentation about this special topic…
