Maintenance mode

[Kirsten]

Hi there,

We've recently set up Policies to use on all of our servers.

We have nightly/weekly reboots on some of the servers within each group.

We would like to know if there's a way to have Maintenance windows on a server level basis? Not all servers in a group are rebooted at the same time each week so we wouldn't want to miss any notifications.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kirsten,

There sure are. In the other settings of policies you can set up maintenance windows but this feature is also available in the Pulseway Manager under the Settings ->  Maintenance Schedule tab.

Thanks Paul. Yes I am aware of the policy settings, but as above, not all servers are rebooted in the same maintenance window. Would we need to log into each server and manually change each window for each server or can we script it?

You can configure one system with the schedule you want and you can script the registry changes from HKLM:\SOFTWARE\MMSOFT Design\PC Monitor\MaintenanceSchedule. You can also remotely edit the configuration of online windows systems through the Pulseway Dashboard desktop app.

Is Pulseway triggering the reboot?  Windows scheduled task? 

Can't you set the maintenance mode as a part of the reboot script, and then remove the maintenance mode X minutes after reboot?
