You can suspend polling during that time. There is a catch (there is always a catch).
When WUG suspends the polling, the last known state is what will be displayed during the entire time the device is not tested.
This means that you might choose to not test a device during the weekend. ! minute before midnight the device misses a ping, it
goes red, and for the entire weekend you are not looking at it, it is red.
The opposite is true, at the time you enter the non-polling time, the box is up, but 1 minute into that weekend, it goes down.
A user calls in says it's down. You look at the web page and say it's up.
I made a suggestion to the wish list (kind of like playing the lottery) for the following:
When a device is not being polled via the disable monitoring during days/hours, the icon should go grey, just like it does when you
select don't monitor it all. This way when you look at the map, see the device is grey you can say I don't know what the state
of the device is.

Have any of you WUGers been able to resolve this issue:
Server A is scheduled to be rebooted every day at 2AM. In the Alerts properties you can set times to exclude notifications. Our operations team monitors the environment using the webpage to them a planner or scheduled outage looks like it is a down node. Any thoughts or work abounds or am I missing something simple?
Thanks!
