Hi,
Quick question everyone! When I un-manage a device for maintenance, does that affect my monthly availability reports for that device or willvailability report it still show 100% availability despite being un-managed for a period for time?
No -- unmanaging a node or interface will not affect your availability reports or other statistics for that object. From the documentation:
"When you need to perform maintenance on nodes, such as upgrading firmware, installing new hardware, or updating security, you may want Orion Network Configuration Manager to discontinue downloading configurations and reporting information about the nodes while the devices are down. Unmanaging nodes while node maintenance is being performed helps maintain the accuracy of your data and prevents unnecessary and inaccurate reports."
