All Hosts Downtime

Post by vmesquita »

Hello!

Is there a way to schedule a downtime for all hosts? For the case of a network manutence?

If you don't care about them showing up on reports you could just globally disable alerts by clicking the green checks in the upper right and on the following screen turn on notifications. However, that isn't what you asked, so the easiest way would be if you have parenting all setup properly. You could schedule a downtime for the lead parent host and select the box to schedule a downtime for the children as well.

Another way, if you have a hostgroup that includes all hosts you can easily schedule a downtime for the hostgroup. from the main menu "Hostgroup summary" find the hostgroup and click the icon for "View hostgroup commands" click that then select schedule downtime for all hosts in this hostgroup.

You can also use Home > Mass Acknowledgement to mass schedule downtime for your hosts/services.
