scheduled disabling of monitoring for a device

[rj01]

I have a couple of servers that have daily scheduled reboots very early in the morning. I'm trying to figure out how to turn off monitoring/paging for a single device for a scheduled period of time every day (i.e. 2:30-3am).
I will also eventually want to set this up by groups so only certain systems page at night.

Can anyone help me with this? I see some instructions for time filters based on task, but I'm looking for per device. We're using SIM 5.1.

Thanks.

"Suspend/Resume Monitoring" can be done with the mxnode command to modify using an XML file. It would look like this:

mxnode -m -f FILENAME

...with the XML file formatted like:






Where PARAMETER can be suspend, suspend.5m, suspend.15m, suspend.1h, suspend.1d or resume.

Put this into a batch file and you can use the 'AT' command to schedule it to run at a particular time.

So there's no way to do it in the GUI??

Never mind. I finally found it. I can do this as a scheduled task through System Properties - Suspend/Resume monitoring. I just need to make each server I do it for a collection.


Thanks anyway.
