How to distinguish maintenance and no mantenance events through event.get

[chg627]

Hi all, I wrote a script using API method event.get to collect problems every day and output an excel sheet.

But recently when testing the maintenance funtion, I found that events under maintenance still can be collected by event.get. I would like to see maintenance events disappear in the sheet, anyone know how to filter them?

Thanks in advance.

Event is not marked in DB for being "during maintenance", as long as I know... Maintenance is applied "on the fly" to events and they are kept from escalations etc. But they do not get marked in DB.
So you need to pull maintenance data separately and apply it on you events data again....

Thank you bro. I'm just confused, because I noticed that in 7.0 doc, there is a parameter for event.get, "selectSuppressionData", which returns "maintenanceid". And maintenance.get also returns "maintenanceid".

When I try maintenance.get. There is a "maintenanceid" for the maintenance period and another "maintenanceid" for host, and apparently they are not the same.
