Is it possible to schedule disabling a SAM monitor?

I have a SAM template monitoring a few windows servers on a server, and received a request to disable the service monitoring for a range of dates. Other than manually disabling these monitors, is there another method within SolarWinds that will allow me to schedule disabling those SAM monitors similar to scheduling maintenance mode on a node?

Yes, using the SolarWinds Unmanage Scheduling Utility.Configure Orion to unmanage items on a scheduled basis (solarwinds.com)

If this is more of a one-off activity, you can Schedule Applications muting/unmanaging just like scheduling Maintenance on the Node Details Page. You just do it on the Application Details page.

Give the Unmanage Scheduling Utility a try. RDP to your Main Polling Engine and look for it under SolarWinds Platform

Log in to the system hosting the Main Orion installation.
Open the SolarWinds Unmanage Scheduling Utility.
Provide your admin login credentials to the Orion Web Console.
Within the Unmanage Task Editor, click Create New Task and choose +Add Items.
Select the focus of the task and click Add Items.
Select the objects and click Add.
Select the duration of the unmanaged period and click OK.
Save the task.
Open up Task Scheduler on the Orion Server.
