You can actually use the "ignore until" option on devices :

http://observium/device/device=<device_id>/tab=edit/section=alerts/

Depending upon how many devices are involved, this might be the easiest way.

Preferable would be something like scripting setting ignore on all of the devices directly in the database, and then unsetting it afterwards.

Scheduled downtime is on the list, as with a lot of things :)

Ive got a customer location that they have to reboot machines nightly (old Asterisk boxes that have not been upgraded yet), and so obviously this throws a wrench in on alerts. Im not seeing anything in the documentation to where you can schedule downtime or maintenance, like Nagios let's say does.

One thing I thought of was disable the poller during this window, then enable it back with a script, pretty janky but that would work for now.

Is this something planned on the roadmap and have others shown any interest in this?

This is also configurable on the device settings page, but I think these things aren't immediately obvious to new users of Observium.

We need to work on better directing people to these settings, and making it more obvious what they're doing.

Wrong thread :)

But in future if you do

php -l <filename>

PHP will tell you about any errors it finds. If it doesn't find any, and it's only graphs that are broken, it's likely an erroneous newline outside of the <?php ?> tags (this will break the server sending the image to the browser)

You guys are life savers! It was indeed some sort of syntax error in the config.php . Replacing the file with the default and configuring the database information solved the issue.

Many Thanks,

You could script is via the database, send some SQL statements at the beginning and end of the maintenance window:

UPDATE devices SET status=0,ignore=1 WHERE hostname=‘asterisk1.your.domain’; etc..
