Hi Boris, can you put and example for this for a monitor? Let us say a service? :)

A service monitor perhaps?

the issue I feel about this is, mainly: when tuning MOM2005, it was a common thing to just disable something AT CERTAIN TIMES, while leaving it running the rest of the day....

that is... for EXISTING rules/monitors. I am not willing to DUPLICATE existing monitors and rules coming in sealed MPs just to do this... it should just be overridable.

Also - unrelated to the topic itself - why didn't you just write a post (which would be accessible on browsers other than IE and COULD be read into aggregators, and would be better INDEXED by search engines) with the steps... instead than ATTACHING a .MHT file?

Hi Daniele,

I do know that this is not a perfect solution, but this is something people can do in the meanwhile. We are definitely looking at how to make this possible for rules/monitors in sealed MPs.

As for the blog post itself, the reason I put it into a MHTML page is because adding pictures with the blog writing tool that comes with blogs.msdn.com is very time consuming. I will try to recreate the blog post with all the content in the post rather than the attachment.

First of all thanks for writing this mht to explain to us how it can be done. I dont understand why this didnt come out of the box as its quite logical this would have come to this.

anyways, this solution doesnt work for me aswell as i wont to accomplish that on sealed mps and i prefer not to duplicate the monitor into an unsealed mp etc.

Is it possible to use a solution like this to do an override ? I explain. A rule is defined to run everyday and you want to disable the rule for a couple of hours every without using the maintenance mode ? The maintenance mode just permit to disable temporary all rules and monitors of an object.

I am not sure I fully understood the question. Are you looking to make the hours parameter overrideable for custom rules that you create?

This is great Boris. Have you done the same for a monitor yet. We just got a request this week to disable monitoring of a service after hours.

hey Boris, I cant see anywhere in rules to select a custom rule? can you specify where to find it, when i go to the rules folder i can only select new rule and then i get have to choose from

Alert generating rules

Collection rules

Timed Commands?

Thanks in advance

Paul

In the authoring console you need to do the following:

1 - Go to the health model tab

2 - Click on the Rules node in the tree view on the left side of the screen

3 - Then on the right side of the screen right click and select New->Custom Rule.

Was working good then we had DST this weekend, it does not seem to be honouring the schedule anymore. Has anyone else seen this behaviour ?
