Loving maintenance mode.

The alert muting feature was just added with the latest round of releases:

NPM 12.1 Release Notes - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Glad to hear you like it!

Hi,

Is there a way to set up recurring scheduled maintenance?  I don't see it addressed in the release notes.

Thanks,

Cheryl

There is a tool called "Unmanage Scheduling Utility" on the start menu under SolarWinds Orion -> Advanced Features ​that allows for scheduling unmanage tasks

Thanks, this is how I schedule recurring unmanage/manage requests today, using the utility.  But when I was on a support call last week, the support representative told me about the changes in NPM 12.1 which would address our needs to set up recurring entries by using mute alerts during scheduled maintenance. He said I would no longer need to use the utility above.  How will that work?

Thanks,

Cheryl

You can schedule a one time event in the web UI now (screen shot below) but recurring events still have to be done in the utility on the Orion box.

Thanks for the reply.

I agree, It would be nice to be able to schedule a recurring maintenance window through the Node & Group Management section on the Main Settings & Administration page.

I created a feature request for exactly that

Thanks for doing that, a much needed feature.

Hello,

Is there a way to manage nodes in maintenance mode? Filter by nodes currently muting alerts?

We would like to make this function open to our engineers but need a way to determine which nodes are currently suspending alerts.

I would assume we can create an alert i just have not confirmed or looked into it yet.

Anyone got anything?
