recurring downtime

scott.campbell-taylor

I have a switch at a site that is only manned 1 day a week, and powered off the rest

How can I setup the node so it is only monitored for that day?
I have thought about Maintenance mode but I can only work out how to have 1 period setup under schedule

There's a recurring schedule manager installed on the server, it's a faff and you should back it up as some upgrades can mess with it. It works though.

Alternately you can set the alert logic with an OR Node.Caption = ThatThing AND Day = ThatDay, which might be easier in a custom SWQL than through the UI, havnt checked

Alternately you can set a property or two for "maintenance_start" and "maintenance_end" or something and have a logic lock where timestamp is between those

Alternately you can set a scheduled task on the server to make an API call back to solarwinds to mute this server regularly
