Set Maintenance remotely

[rangeshgupta]

We have cluster, which is used by user's for running the jobs. When server are idle we make them shut down and start when there is a job in a queue

So, the state change of the servers are automated.

It would be very useful if I can add to script a command to enable maintenance before shutting down the server. And disabled the maintenance while starting the server.

Is there is a way to do that.

Thanks

For disable monitoring (set status not monitored) exec sql query
update hosts set status = 1 where host = HOSTNAME

to unable monitoring: update hosts set status = 0 where host = HOSTNAME

Help for those of us who are SQL challenged.

For disable monitoring (set status not monitored) exec sql query
update hosts set status = 1 where host = HOSTNAME

to unable monitoring: update hosts set status = 0 where host = HOSTNAME

This would be great if I knew how to set up the SQL connection and could code the change.

I need to script like this for our java code deployments, temporarily disabling website monitors. The releases are already mostly scripted in windows command (.bat). I also need this when rebooting to apply Windows updates, temporarily disabling host monitors. I guess I will have to run a script on each boot to re-enable monitoring. Most of the people doing the updates are unfamiliar with Zabbix except for the generated alerts.
