By default, Blackouts only apply after a host has been successfully
pinged 7 times in a row, which could be ~1 week of elapsed time.
A sequence of 3 failures (eg: host down) resets the count.
Look in the host summary page and you should see text like:
- Pings to HOST have succeeded 77 consecutive times.
- Because HOST has been on the network at least 7 consecutive times,
it will not be backed up from 1:00 to 8:00 on Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed,
Thu, Fri, Sat.
What does your's say?
Finally, please check your settings of
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods}
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit}
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt}
