Orion-Server Reboots

At least once a month we reboot our Orion Server usually because of MS patches. With V7.8 it was easy to disable all the alerts and then reboot the server and then wait for everything to clear after Orion comes backup. You then would enable the alerts and no erroneous alerts would be sent out. However with V8.1 and Advanced Alerts I do not see a box to disable all the advanced alerts. It is a big pain to have to disable each advanced alert individually to do a server reboot. With V8.1 and advanced alerts in regards to server reboots is there any recommended best practices?

Thanks - Greg

You can go to Advacned Fetaures->Shudwon Netperfmon-> stop the alerting services and then uninstall them so they will not alert on the reboot-

After booting up you will need to reinstall and press Start services-

So in order to do a server reboot without setting off erroneous alerts you need to uninstall the alerting engine and then re-install after the reboot? This sounds very cumbersome, is this the best method that SolarWinds can come up with for a Server reboot?

I'm just the messenger. It is just a few mouse clicks

would setting the service to disabled perform the same task?
