Automatically setting an Application Monitor to "unmanaged"

Hello Folks,

I am looking for a way to set an Application Monitor to the state of "unmanaged" for a defined Time Window at reoccuring dates.

The reason is that usually an offline Backup is performed and the Application Services are shut down during this time.

I know I can "manually" unmanage but we want to do this e.g. every day from 00:00 AM to 04:00 AM

Thanks for any hints

Hi Guys,

here is how my issue was resolved (thank you support for your quick help on this)

Navigate to:
Programs>SolarWinds Orion>Grouping and Access Control>Custom Property

Adding a custom property
- Click Add
- Build a Custom Property from scratch
- Choose add to Interface
- Name the property
- Click Ok

Then run again the utility

I have been told that this will be fixed in the next release.

Hope this helps.

I found the "unmanage Task tool" on the Orion Server but is there any other way.

Thanks for any ideas

The Unmanage Scheduling Utility is the correct and only way to handle this in the product today.
