Automate the muting and unmuting of SolarWinds alerts for n/w devices during scheduled maintenance

gaba8696

I have a PowerShell script that allows to unmanage/re-manage the nodes, mute/unmute the alerts in SolarWinds. currently, I have to run the script manually from the server using the PowerShell ISE. I want to automate this process so that whenever network team performs maintenance activity on network device, the script run automatically to unmanage/re-manage, or mute/unmute the alerts in SolarWinds. Is there any possibility to achieve this automation with SolarWinds itself, without relying on external automation tools?

I tried to achieve this via windows task scheduler. I have created one task and provided the required details in the task scheduler. but I am unable to do it.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi @gaba8696

Yes, you should be able to run your mute-script from task scheduler.

You can also use the new reoccurring maintenance scheduler, built into SolarWinds https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-setting-device-management-states-sw2036.htm?cshid=OrionCoreAGSettingDeviceManagementStates
