Use

In the configuration of availability monitoring with CCMSPING, you can deactivate the monitoring during certain specified times, such as during the weekend or for maintenance work. You can also repeat these monitoring pauses daily or weekly.

Prerequisites

This procedure is part of the Configuring Availability Monitoring process. It is therefore a prerequisite that you have already performed the part of the process that is to be performed before this procedure.

       1.      Select the desired systems by choosing the folder symbol for the corresponding systems.

       2.      If you have only selected one system, or want to create different monitoring pauses for the selected systems, choose the Pauses button and then Create Monitoring Pause.

If you want to create an identical monitoring pause for the selected systems, choose the Pauses button and then Create Uniform Monitoring Pause.

       3.      The Maintain Time not Monitored screen appears. The screen has the following structure:

       4.      You can define monitoring rules for single monitoring pauses, and pauses that are repeated daily or weekly. The monitoring pauses that are repeated daily take effect immediately, the monitoring pauses that are repeated weekly are valid from the time specified, each time for the selected period of time and on the selected weekday.

       5.      Save the monitoring rule that you have created. Once you have successfully saved your rule, the system displays a success message and your rule appears in the list at the bottom of the screen. If you have selected multiple systems, and do not want to create a uniform monitoring pause, repeat these steps for all selected systems.

To change a monitoring rule, delete the rule from the list, and recreate the rule.

       6.      To leave the screen, choose Cancel ()

Result

The selected systems are not monitored for their availability during the specified times; that is, no corresponding alerts are generated during these time periods.
