Disable triggers while in maintenance but still allow collection

[syntax53]

I know when you create a maintenance window you can choose with or without data collection, and if I choose 'without' then no triggers will fire, obviously. However, I'd like the data that can still be collected to be collected while in maintenance, I just don't want the triggers to fire. I have it so I don't get notified, but the "problems" still get recorded and the obsessive-compulsive in me makes sure I acknowledge all problems.

I looked in the trigger configurations and couldn't find any way to add a condition on whether or not the host was in maintenance. The other thought was, is there some way to "auto acknowledge" while in maintenance?

Usually people use action condition Maintenance status = not in and in your case maintenance window with data collection. In that case you will have data collected, triggers indeed fired but the trigger actions not.

Thanks for the reply. That's how I have it setup. I am not receiving the notifications, which is good. However, the "problems" are still recorded during the maintenance (services down, high CPU load, etc). Then I "have to" go in and acknowledge all of those problems.
