Unmanaging and suppressing alerts for applications - Scheduled recurring maintenance windows

nickzourdos over 5 years ago

Here's my take on a recurring, scheduled maintenance window for applications. We've got a hot/cold environment for one of our big in-house applications that rotates every two weeks.

Unmanage:

#Add-Pssnapin swissnapin
Import-Module SwisPowerShell
$start = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime() 
$end = $start.AddDays(14)
$swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname ORIONSERVER -Username username -Password password


$applist = Get-SwisData -SwisConnection $swis -Query @"
SELECT ID
FROM Orion.APM.Application 
WHERE Name LIKE '%KEYWORD%'
"@


Foreach( $a in $applist ) {
    $appid = @( $a | ForEach-Object { [string]( $_  ) } )
    Invoke-SwisVerb -SwisConnection $swis -EntityName Orion.APM.Application -Verb Unmanage -Arguments @( "AA:$appid", $start, $end, "false" )
}

Suppress alerts:

#Add-Pssnapin swissnapin
Import-Module SwisPowerShell
$start = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
$end = $start.AddDays(14) #two week release cycle
$swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname ORIONSERVER -Username username -Password password


$apps = Get-SwisData -SwisConnection $swis -Query @"
SELECT Uri
FROM Orion.APM.Application 
WHERE Name LIKE '%KEYWORD%'
"@

Foreach( $a in $apps ) {
    $uri = @( $apps | ForEach-Object { [string]( $_  ) } )
    Invoke-SwisVerb -SwisConnection $swis -EntityName Orion.AlertSuppression -Verb SuppressAlerts -Arguments @( $uri, $start, $end )    
}

Just set these Powershell scripts to run on a Scheduled Task and you're all set!

Special thanks to zackm KMSigma and aLTeReGo for lots of patience while I learn this API thing.
