Mass disable of alerts

[Kenadi Moore]

Hello!

I know you can individually inactivate alerts but was wondering if anyone has a good solution to do a quick mass deactivation of alerts.  We would like to do this when there are planned downtimes of our Epic system so that we’re not firing unnecessary alarms.

I could envision some kind of script which edits the default.alrt files in each site adding the { REM 1 } line to each alert, then bounces the monitor daemon.  Would this be dangerous/ill advised?  Any other ideas?

We are using Cloverleaf 6.2 on AIX.

Thanks!

p.s.  to Infor – this might be a good enhancement for future version – deactivate with one click.

Old school…

Create a blank alrt file, activate that one during down time, then go back to using the original.

Here are 2 ksh scripts we use to turn off/on all alerts on all sites.
