Planned Downtime

    Is there a way to set the Planned Downtime so that no devices are polled during a period?

     

    What I don't want to do is Maintenance, which you cannot do if you are only monitoring your devices.

     

    We have generator tests done every Monday morning over a 2 hour window, and I don't want any devices polled during this period. We are using Version 7.7.3

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Devices are still polled during 'planned downtime'.  It's only for device uptime report that 'planned downtime' makes a significant difference.  I don't have a pretty way to do what you're trying to do, but try this:

     

    Go to Group -> select group -> Basic tab

    Disable polling, save and apply, apply

    Go back to Group Basic

    Enable polling, save and apply, instead of apply -> schedule for repeating option

    Go back to Group Basic

    Enable polling, save and apply, apply 

    Go back to Group Basic

    Disable polling, save and apply, instead of apply -> schedule for repeating option

     

    This should do what you're trying to do.  While at the same time keeping a planned downtime window for the time that's not polled in case you want to run your device uptime report.

    I'll give that a shot!  I'm not even worried about the uptime report.  I just don't want to get 1800 e-mails every morning telling me my devices rebooted.

     

    Thanks for the help!  I'll mark it as solution if it works next Monday.
