Maintenance Window Manager Reference
This is a reference for the Maintenance Window Manager Moolet.
Moogsoft recommends you do not change any properties that are not in this reference guide.
You can change the behavior of the Maintenance Window Manager by editing the configuration properties in the $MOOGSOFT_HOME/config/moolets/maintenance_window_manager.conf configuration file. It contains the following properties:
name
Name of the Maintenance Window Manager Moolet. Do not change.
Type: String
Required: Yes
Default: "MaintenanceWindowManager"
classname
Moolet class name. Do not change.
Type: String
Required: Yes
Default: "CMaintenance"
run_on_startup
Determines whether the Maintenance Window Manager runs when Moogsoft Enterprise starts. By default, it is set to true, so that when Moogfarmd starts, it automatically creates an instance of the Maintenance Window Manager.
Type: Boolean
Required: Yes
Default: true
metric_path_moolet
Determines whether or not Moogsoft Enterprise factors the Maintenance Window Manager into the Event Processing metric for Self Monitoring.
Type: Boolean
Required: Yes
Default: true
process_output_of
Defines the input source for the Maintenance Window Manager. This determines the Maintenance Window Manager's place in the alert processing workflow.
Type: List
Required: Yes
One of: AlertBuilder, AlertRulesEngine, Enricher
Default: "AlertBuilder"
maintenance_status_field
Name of the custom_info field or key used to indicate the alert's maintenance status.
Type: String
Required: Yes
Default: "maintenance_status"
maintenance_status_label
Value of the custom_info.maintenance_status field used to indicate that an alert is in maintenance.
Type: String
Required: Yes
Default: "In maintenance"
update_captured_alerts
If enabled, ensures the maintenance status of an alert is set to null once the Maintenance Window that captured it has expired. If disabled, the maintenance status field of a captured alert remains as the text value set in the maintenance_status_label property, unless that alert reoccurs when all custom_info maintenance fields are set to null.
Type: Boolean
Required: Yes
Default: true
It is possible to add a column in the alert view displaying the 'Maintenance Status' for each alert and the text visible in this column can be controlled by editing the maintenance_status_label in the MaintenanceWindowManager Moolet configuration in $MOOGSOFT_HOME/config/moolets/maintenance_window_manager.conf.
For the feature to function, you must place the Maintenance Window Manager Moolet before a Sigalising Moolet in a forwarding chain. It is also appropriate for you to locate it before the Alert Rules Engine in the processing chain.
