Modes

Modes can be used to temporary change the monitoring operation on a container or an asset or group of assets.

We identify the following modes within the InfraSonar application:

mode	description
normal	normal operations, all conditions are evaluated.
maintenance	All asset notifications and alert messages suppressed
disabled	All data send by an agent for this asset is ignored. Any probes / checks configured for this asset are stopped.

Modes in day to day operations

Modes are a powerful instrument when performing maintenance on assets as it allows on easy way to temporary stop the monitoring avoiding being flood with messages.

Mode operations

Modes can be set on container level. Effectively changing the mode for all assets in the container.

Changing the mode on a container can be done using our a schedular or in the container view.
