Hi Tony,
There is an option to disable alerting for a device. You can set and unset this option using the API. That could possibly work? (note it disables ALL alerting on the device for the time that checkmark is on)
Alternatively, you could also set a "delay" variable on your alerts - which means they won't fire after x times 5 minutes have passed, allowing your machine to reboot and come back up before an alert is sent. However this delays ALL your alerts for that specific checker for x times 5 minutes which is probably undesirable (so it depends what alerts you're seeing to make that call...)

Hi, when my Microsoft servers patch monthly, they often reboot and that causes an alert that is unnecessary for me. Is there a way (maybe a script I could write) that would disable alerting? I am thinking about making a cron job that would run monthly (at the time I am patching) that would disable alerting…then maybe 2 hrs later, re-enable alerting.
Is this possible?
