HI!
We use Solarwinds Unmanage Scheduling Utility!
I love it! It is alittle clugy, but it's the best tool till something else comes out.
I can create a profile with the servers that I know will be rebooted on a schedule, then I use Task Manager to schedule the Unmanage Utility profile for those servers in the profiles
that will be rebooted so I don't have all sorts of alerts and tickets being generated.
Go to Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Advanced Features and use the Unmanaged Scheduler Utility,
I hope this helps!
Thanks much,
Cheryl Matrasko
Scheduling unmanage task for nodes, interfaces and applications
SolarWinds Orion Unmanage Schedule Utility
Functional Overview:
By default, Unmanage Tasks are saved in .xml format to the UnmanageUtility\Jobs folder. During each save operation, a corresponding .cmd file will be created in the UnmanageUtility\Tasks folder. This .cmd file is created in order to assist the user in creation of a Scheduled Windows Task, which will run the Unmanage Task at the desired time. However, the details of the Unmanage Task itself are stored in the .xml file.
Add items to a new (or existing) Unmanage Task:
Select Orion Nodes, Interfaces (or Applications if APM is installed) from the "Add Items" dialog. Items can be grouped for ease of use, into Node, Status (or Application Template in the case of APM). The Add Items dialog will ask for an Unmanage duration before the selected items are added to the current Unmanage Task. The Global Unmanage Task duration can later be changed (if desired) with the "Set Duration" button in the main UI.
To Schedule an Unmanage Task:
Create a new Windows Scheduled Task, and configure the new task by selecting one of the .cmd files created in UnmanageUtility\Tasks.
Troubleshooting:
UnmanageEditor.exe Error and Debug events are logged to:
UnmanageUtility\Unmanage.log and UnmanageUtility\UnmanageDebug.log.
UnmanageRunner.exe Error and Debug events are logged to:
UnmanageUtility\Jobs\Runner\Unmanage.log and UnmanageUtility\Jobs\Runner\UnmanageDebug.log.
Logging information is also provided in the Windows Event Log (SolarWinds.Net application log).
