Using Maintenance mode

This feature lets you place devices in Maintenance mode, where they will not be polled by the engine.

Any device placed in maintenance mode is not polled, and actions are not fired for it, but it remains in the device list and historical data is preserved. By default, the maintenance state is represented by an orange color in both the device list view and the map view.

The mode can be set in two ways:

• Force this device into maintenance mode now. Set this device options manually by selecting Device Properties > Polling.
• Scheduled maintenance times. Schedule maintenance times for the device.
  • Click Add to schedule a new maintenance time for the device.
  • Select an existing entry, then click Edit to change a scheduled time.
  • Select an existing entry, then click Remove to delete a scheduled time from the list.
