Well, I don’t know about you, but my company has switched to IPSwitch Gold for monitoring a couple of months ago. It seems to work really well, but not everything is “simple” to do if you do not know where the setting is. For about the last 2 weeks, I have been trying to figure out how to put devices in maintenance mode…now I know that once you know how to do it, it is really easy to do. The problem was I didn’t know and kept looking in the wrong places. If I have this problems, others must as well. Without further ado, here are the directions.
Maintenance
Use this section of the dialog to manually set the device Maintenance state, or schedule the maintenance state for a certain time period. Any device placed in Maintenance mode will not be polled, but it remains in the device list with an identifying icon. By default, the maintenance state is represented by an orange background color.
- Force this device into maintenance mode now. Select this option to put the selected device in maintenance mode. Clear the option to resume polling the device.
- Recurring maintenance times. This box displays all scheduled maintenance times for the device.
- Click Add to schedule a new maintenance time for the device.
- Select an entry, then click Edit to change a scheduled time.
- or -
Double-click a Schedule to edit its configuration.
- Select an entry, then click Remove to delete a scheduled time.
