Working with blackout policies in APM

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) blackout policies allow you to designate specific days of the week and times that APM does not alert you on the health of the components monitored with APM. For example, you may not want to receive alerts on the weekend. To do this, create a blackout policy that includes blackout times from 12:00AM Saturday to 12:00AM Monday.

To access APM blackout policies in the WhatsUp Gold web interface, go to APM > Actions Management > Blackout Policies.

Use the APM Blackout Policies page to configure new or existing policies.

• Click New to configure a new blackout policy.
• Select a blackout policy, then click Edit to modify its configuration.

  

• Select a blackout policy, then click Delete to remove it from the library.
