Before we had Mute Alerts, Unmanage Node was the best option for silencing Alerts during maintenance windows. Now that we have Mute Alerts, at least in our shop, we no longer need Unmanage Node. In fact, we prefer staff does not use Unmanage Node because we want Orion to continue collecting stats up until the time a Node goes down for maintenance and again as soon as it comes back up. However we are finding that some are set in the old ways and still use Unmanage Node. When they do, this destroys our ability to see, in Orion, what was happening on the Node just before it went down or right after it came back up.
It would be very helpful if we, Orion Administrators, had the ability to hide abilities like Unmanage Node and others even including Mute Alerts. While I do not understand why anyone would want to, I am sure there are also customers out there who would rather their staff use Unmanage Node and not Mute Alerts.
