restricted alerts

[Sue Bauer-Lee]

We have some application processes that run at regular intervals or
prescribed times every day that cause certain client resource services
to alert such as cpu, procs, memory. These service hits are not critical
issues during this prescribed time period, but might be any other time of
the day. Other examples might include 100% cpu utilization during a database
backup or a heavy batch process.


Is there a way to define the equivalent of the DOWNTIME directive for
an individual server (cpu, procs) instead of applying it to ALL services?
If so, is this a server or client side configuration (bb-hosts or BB client)?
