Running NPM 10.6, is there a simple way to suspend all alerting from NPM while we do some planned maintenance?
Would it be as simple as stopping the Solarwinds Alerting Engine service?
personally I like Alert Manager -> Active Alerts -> Disable all alert actions
This will disable alert actions, but still allow the alerts to appear in the console during the maintenance.
[this is an obscure checkbox in the upper right corner of that screen]
Otherwise, yes, stopping the Alert engine service will do it.
I like this approach as well very much
TIPS & TRICKS: Stop the madness! Avoiding alerts but continuing to pull statistics.
Over three years on this is still the most useful thing I've read on Thwack!
