Remebering status after scheduled down time

Votes:

0

Every night, I have a scheduled down time from 3am till 5am of my root object. This means all my sensors stop monitoring during this time.

The reason I do this is so i can ignore router and server reboots etc. Also it gives me a better sense of planned uptime.

But every morning I have new alarms for items I have acknowledged before. (for example I have a test server down for a few days, and every morning it resets its status to a new alarm).

Does anyone have any ideas on how to change this? or have a better way to deal this?

Hi Andrew,

Thing is, when the scheduled pause is over, all sensors are being resumed again, meaning they perform a fresh scan. "Ignoring" a formerly acknowledged down sensor might also be an unwanted behavior, since PRTG can't simply assume "nothing has changed, go on, nothing to see here". Right now I don't have an idea how to really work around this I'm afraid.

Kind regards,

Erhard

Erhard,

Sounds fair and logical. It's something I can live with.
