Turn off SIM notify for a specific system?

Jeremy Wheaton — Tue, 30 Nov 2004 16:46:49 GMT

We are currently going through some maintenance on several servers and we'd like to turn off paging for those specific machines. We'd like to still get notifications for other systems but we don't want to get messages from the systems we are working on. Is there a way to do this? We are running SIM 4.1 with SP1 in a Windows environment. Thanks for any help.

Not easily.
Delete the Server from HPSIM and add it to the Exclusion list which is not ideal.

I route a number of alerts via Custom Commands and then let a script handle the messaging. My script reads a text file of Servers to exclude before e-mailing / paging. The text file is easily modified.

Thank you for the response. I don't, however, feel comfortable with the custom commands at this point. I'll try the other solution for the time being. Thanks again.

Due to popular request, this will be a new feature in HP SIM 4.2, due out in a couple of weeks.
