Mute Alerts for interface based on Interface description via powershell

rocco_2016

I've been tasked with creating a method to supress 'Interface down' alerts for physical servers patched into switches during a patching window. This is required because servers are patched via sccm collections and have an option to run scripts to place objects in Maintenance Mode across different monitoring tools. 

What I would like to achieve is to have a script read a text file containing hostnames and place the interface with the server name in the interface description (alias) into a scheduled 'mute alert's' (which from what I understand is alert supress in the SWISSpowershell).

I have had a look on the content exchange, and seen other scripts for different scenario's. So I have a starting point. But wondered if anyone has this setup already. 

I have what is required in the Unmanage Utility and Task Scheduler. But I have been asked to get the above running before looking at scripts to execute the .cmd file from Schedule utility. 

Thanks

I have a script that Mutes an interface if it's connected to a device that is muted - and Solarwinds topology knows about the connection. If that is what you are after I'll upload it here on thwack.
