restricted alerts

We have some application processes that run at regular intervals or prescribed times every day that cause certain client resource services to alert such as cpu, procs, memory. These service hits are not critical issues during this prescribed time period, but might be any other time of the day. Other examples might include 100% cpu utilization during a database backup or a heavy batch process.

Is there a way to define the equivalent of the DOWNTIME directive for an individual server (cpu, procs) instead of applying it to ALL services? If so, is this a server or client side configuration (bb-hosts or BB client)?
