Assigning Blackouts to Agent Instances
A schedule defines a period of time during which an action occurs. Blackout schedules
prevent agents from collecting data. You can use an existing schedule or create another
one if required. For more information about schedules, see Chapter 8, “Using
Schedules” on page 395.
An agent blackout is a scheduled event during which the agent does not collect data for
set intervals. For example, you might want to set the times when regularly scheduled
maintenance is performed on a server as the blackout period for the agents that run on
that server.
Use the Agent Blackouts dashboard to manage agent blackouts.
