If its a regular occurance you could configure an exclude period on the services, or configure the alert periods themselves to exclude that time frame. If its an irregular occurance you can stop the mon scheduler via the web interface (or from cron), and restart when done. (The UI will see no updates, because nothing will be tested...) Finally the most "evil hack" style method, which I've used on occasion, is: cd <mon-alert-dir> chmod -x * ... <maintenance here> chmod +x * You could also do something like write a script that uses Mon::Client and disables all hostgroups. (This would show the status updates in the UI without sending alerts, at least with the current (CVS, 1.2.0rc1) Mon it would, I can't remember whether 0.99.2 did that.) -David _______________________________________________ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
