<p class="MsoNormal">I’m having a problem trying to disable over 1000+ hosts and tests at one time for maintenance windows. I’ve even tried disabling in groups of 100-200 but it will still miss a group of servers here and there. It seems that when I click “apply”
and once the screen refreshes could possibly stop running the enadis.sh/cgi script in the background (??)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to debug this or modify the refresh time/interval?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The reason we want to disable all these hosts/tests for maintenance windows is to keep SLA during the reboots and service outages for patching etc.. Does anyone have other recommendations or suggest using REPORTTIME globally instead?<o:p></o:p></p>
