Creating Blackouts for Selected Instances

In certain scenarios, users may prefer not to receive alarms from one or more agents for a predefined period of time (for example, during the night hours or when a scheduled maintenance is carried out).

Creating a blackout for one or more databases within an instance requires defining the requested instance as a service, and then creating a blackout for this service.

To create a service:
1
Go to Dashboards > Services > Service Builder.
2
Click the sign near the title Add a New Category.
The New Category Wizard dialog box appears.
3
Enter a name for the service in the Name field.
4
In the Tier list, select the User option.
5
Select the option No in the field that requests indicating whether Foglight should dynamically add and maintain the hosts for this service.
6
Click Finish.
The newly created service appears on the table.
7
In the Actions column, click Add () and select the command Add components to this service.
The dialog box Add components to this service appears.
8
Click Add specific component.
9
Use the From list to select the option Agents.
10
Click Search.
The list of agents appears on the table.
11
Select the boxes near the requested agents.
12
Click Add Components.
13
Repeat Step 7 to Step 8.
14
Use the From list to select the option All Models.
15
Click the + sign near the name DBSS_Data_Model, to expand this field.
16
Select the instances for which no alarms should be invoked.
17
Click Add Components.
To create a blackout for the newly created service:
1
Go to Dashboards > Administration > Setup & Support > Blackouts.
2
Click the option Create a One-Time Blackout.
3
In the next screen select the option Suspend Alarms.
4
In the screen Choose Target Type, select Services and click Next.
The screen Choose Blackout Targets appears.
5
Select the previously created service for which no alarms are to be invoked and click Next.
6
Use the next screen, Specify Blackout Period, to select the start and end times of the blackout period and click Next.
The screen Configure Name and Reason appears.
7
Select whether to leave the default name of the blackout or to enter a new name, as well as the reason for blackout.
8
Click Finish to complete the procedure.
The Blackout Summary screen appears, displaying the details of the newly created blackout.
