Re: [Hyperic-hq-discuss] How can I programmatically disable an alert

[Charles L. <cl...@hy...>]

Hi Murray,

The concept of maintenance windows is something that we are thinking  
about developing for future versions of HQ.  Currently, there's no  
way to "temporarily disable" an alert programmatically.  However, you  
can achieve this by using the some additional configurations to the  
alert.  If you set the alert to fire for an unavailability of at  
least the duration of the restart, rather than every time, then you  
won't have false alerts firing while you are restarting the server.

You should not modify the database to affect this behavior.  Object  
data from the database is usually cached and maintained in our  
application server, and you have to guarantee that a direct  
modification to the database will be read by the HQ application.
