Muting alerts

If you know about an upcoming maintenance to the system or some other event that may cause a lot of unnecessary alerts, you can mute the collection of alerts or set a schedule to mute the alerts. During the mute period, no alerts are collected into the Active Administrator® database and no alert notifications are sent.

A banner displays on every analyzer page to indicate what object is muted, the time it was muted, and by whom it was muted. If more than one object is muted, only the number of muted objects displays. The banner updates every 15 seconds. The mute automatically clears after 1 hour.

You can mute all alerts or just alerts for a specific forest, domain, domain controller, or site. The Mute option displays on each window in the Active Directory Health Analyzer. If you are viewing health for a specific object, the Mute option will mute the alerts for that object. For example, if you are viewing a specific site and you click Mute, only the site alerts for that site are muted. If you wanted to mute all the alerts for a site, you could mute all or mute the forest and include domain controllers and sites. Table 2 shows how alerts are muted to help you select the appropriate mute type.
