Hello!

How do we disable alerts and notifications of a sys_node_down\sys_node_up status during a set time period? For example, during the 12am to 4am hours, the majority of our servers go through a restart process. How do we configure the scheduling so that the email notification of sys_node_down and sys_node_up are not captured over a certain time period?
You can achieve this by adding additional filtering script to the rule. Script for checking if current time is not between 00:00 and 04:00 (04:00 not included) may look like following:
sub main()
{
now = localtime();
return now->hour >= 4;
}

How do we configure the email alerts to only send once email every 5 minutes and stop after 4 emails when a sys_node_down event occurs. In other words, we've created an event processing policy for sys_node_up and sys_node_down for sending an email notification once when an event occurs. How do we create an email event so that we are notified once every 5 minutes with a max of 4 emails?
There are no easy way to achieve this. However, you can try the following:
Create custom event, like NODE_STILL_DOWN;
In processing policy, add action that runs a script on server; this script should run nxevent tool four times to post NODE_STILL_DOWN event to server four times with 5 minutes interval, and then exit;
Add event processing policy rule for NODE_STILL_DOWN event - it should check if node is still down and if yes, send additional email.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Victor
