Blacking out bunch of servers in a single shot

[mi6agent]

Hi,

If I am performing a change request on 100 servers. Can I black out all the 100 servers in a single shot to avoid critical alerts and also to exclude the time from availability reports? Please advise the available options.

Regards,

Ravi

You can use the 'Mass Acknowledge' tool on the home page to schedule downtime for more than one machine.

To add to what @hsmith said - it will only allow you to mass schedule downtime for hosts that are currently down. I submitted a feature request to have this changed earlier this week.

If they are all in the same host group, you can navigate to Home -> Hostgroup Summary -> Click the 'terminal' icon (View Hostgroup Commands)
