I need a blackout for Alerts when a group of servers (10), reboot or Node down
I have to configure it two time / week (monday and thusday between 6h00am and 6h30am)
Thank you for your help, appreciate.

I believe a maintenance schedule is what you are looking for. With this, you can specify a time that certain nodes are put into maintenance mode. During this time, alerts will not trigger for specified nodes. You can find out how to do this with the following documentation: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-setting-device-management-states-sw2036.htm
You can either mute alerts for those nodes or stop polling entirely
Hi taylor,
Thank you for your response. Appreciate your help.But in this case, I it happen twice a week for 10 servers. For that I would have to schedule 20 maintenances period per week. For me, it does not make sence. I though something like a script (running on a task) or policy, something like that...I think :-)
Have a nice day,

Did some research, find this. That exactly what I needed
On the Orion server : C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\UnmanageUtility Apps.
I'm glad you found this it was going to be my next suggestion! Just be mindful, I believe this will cease polling during the maintenance period completely rather than just mute the alerts as it is unmanaging the nodes, but if it still works for your use case, then that's great!
In addition to the tool you found, you can also built it into the alerts like:Alert node down (default)ANDNode.Status like downandNode.Customproperties.MaintenanceWindow not like '6am lot'Alert node down (6:00 reboot excl)ANDNode.Status like downandNode.Customproperties.MaintenanceWindow like '6am lot'Scheduling tab -> Disable 6-6:30amOr with a SWQL getutcdate > node.customproperties.maintStart AND getutcdate < node.customproperties.mainEnd sorta thing
