Thresholds vary during every weekend.

vrc2017 — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 08:36:13 GMT

We have a scheduled maintenance in our datacenters where we would like to change the threshold by an hour vs defined time for that time frame. Has anyone had a suggestion?

Example: Resource threshold in alerting profile is set to 30 mins but during the scheduled maintenance we want this to be 1 hr. 30 mins.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I would suggest to create a maintenace windows instead.

But if you want to go ahead, I would use Monaco to deploy those changes.

Best regards

You would need to call the Settings API or use MONACO maybe to deploy dynamically those changes to the Alerting Profiles configuration:

@AntonPineiro @jose_araya thank you for the recommendations. We have been using automation tools to update the alerting profile, but we are trying to find another way to do without involving external tools.

Hi @vrc2017,

If you are using dynatrace SaaS, you can utilize workflows

@Yosi_Neuman that is cool, but we are not a SaaS customer.
