When I had my systems, I was monitoring over 1,200 devices. I had to do the same thing. I kept a small 'alerts' file with only the essentials and would copy out the actual alerts file and copy in the smaller file during this time where there were no actual alerts found. Then I would copy back in the original file when finished.
The other way was to break the Email setup to only allow the messages to queue up. Then when ready to restore it, remove all Email messages in both sides of the mail queues before restoring the Email setup to allow messages to flow again. This method can be confusing as your xymon system will show the alerts were sent out in the reports when they actually were not allowed to go out.
Hope this helps you out!
If there is a better/simpler way, let me know. Thanks, Tom Schmitt

Just disable the alerts. Tests will continue to send to the server, you just won't be notified. On Apr 28, 2015 12:56 PM, "usa ims via Xymon" <xymon at xymon.com> wrote:

I want to write a script to disable all emails from all tests but to continue reporting to the display server.
What is the most efficient way of doing this?
Thanks in advance.
