Here's my take on a recurring, scheduled maintenance window for applications. We've got a hot/cold environment for one of our big in-house applications that rotates every two weeks.
Unmanage:
#Add-Pssnapin swissnapin
Import-Module SwisPowerShell
$start = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
$end = $start.AddDays(14)
$swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname ORIONSERVER -Username username -Password password
$applist = Get-SwisData -SwisConnection $swis -Query @"
SELECT ID
FROM Orion.APM.Application
WHERE Name LIKE '%KEYWORD%'
"@
Foreach( $a in $applist ) {
$appid = @( $a | ForEach-Object { [string]( $_ ) } ) Invoke-SwisVerb -SwisConnection $swis -EntityName Orion.APM.Application -Verb Unmanage -Arguments @( "AA:$appid", $start, $end, "false" )
}
Suppress alerts:
#Add-Pssnapin swissnapin
Import-Module SwisPowerShell
$start = (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
$end = $start.AddDays(14) #two week release cycle
$swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname ORIONSERVER -Username username -Password password
$apps = Get-SwisData -SwisConnection $swis -Query @"
SELECT Uri
FROM Orion.APM.Application
WHERE Name LIKE '%KEYWORD%'
"@
Foreach( $a in $apps ) {
$uri = @( $apps | ForEach-Object { [string]( $_ ) } ) Invoke-SwisVerb -SwisConnection $swis -EntityName Orion.AlertSuppression -Verb SuppressAlerts -Arguments @( $uri, $start, $end )
}
Just set these Powershell scripts to run on a Scheduled Task and you're all set!
Special thanks to zackmKMSigma and aLTeReGo for lots of patience while I learn this API thing.
