Hour time difference when calling Alertmanager silence API

[Danny de Waard]

When i do a curl from mu RHEL machine to set a silence with curl like this:

curl -s -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"comment": "testsilence for job KT3","createdBy": "DDW","startsAt": "'${startSilence}'","endsAt": "'${endSilence}'","matchers": [{"isRegex": false,"name": "job","value": "KT3"}]}' lsrv6003.linux.rabobank.nl:9093/api/v2/silences)

And the times are as following:

start: 2021-03-26T12:03:13Z

end: 2021-03-26T13:03:13Z

It shows pending in the GUI>

testsilence for job KT3

State

pending

And the start time is set at script start so like this:

startSilence=`date +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`

endSilence=`date -d '1 hour' +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`

What am i missing?

If i subtract 1 hour from the start it shows as Active

I think this is formatting it as UTC time but actually is in your local timezone.

Try something like:

startSilence=`TZ=UTC date +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`
