Send out emails and alerts for only certain sensors

Votes:

0

Hello,

Each month, we have a maintenance where we reboot the servers in our environment. Normally during these maintenance windows, we disable the alerts from sending emails by using an invalid SMTP port in the Administration settings. We would like to still be able to receive alerts for a group of probes but avoid sending alerts related to the maintenance. Since we use the sensors for other metrics, we would like to avoid having to pause the probes for the servers we are rebooting. Is there a way we can achieve this?

Hello,

If I understand your request correctly, you can create another notification template for the sensors that would like to send out the notification during the maintenance. When you perform the maintenance you can pause the template that is used by the sensors under maintenance.
