Automatically stop monitoring resources using blackouts

Blackouts are times when you do not want the Monitor to collect metrics. When a blackout completes, the Monitor attempts to reconnect to the resources and to continue collecting data.

The following procedure describes how to stop a resource using blackouts. For information about what happens when you stop a resource and about when you should use blackouts, see Stop monitoring resources.

Blackouts occur in the local time of the resource. See Understanding how time is displayed.

 To configure the blackout time

  1. Log in to the Monitor as an administrator.

  2. Choose Tools » Administration.

  3. Click Resources.

  4. Select the resource, and then click Configure.

  5. Click Blackouts.

  6. Click New.

  7. In the New Blackout Period window, specify the date and time (24 hour clock) for the blackout.

    The time is local to the computer where the resource database resides.

  8. Click Save.

  9. Click Save.

  10. Click OK.
