Setting entities to maintenance mode in Security Center - Security Center 5.11

To change the configuration of an entity or perform maintenance on a device without affecting health statistics, you can set the entity to maintenance mode.

1. Open the appropriate task in Config Tool.
2. In the entity tree view, select the entity or entities, right-click and select Maintenance > Maintenance mode.
3. In the Maintenance mode dialog box, click Turn ON.
4. Select how long you want the entity to be maintenance mode for.
   Select one of the following options:

   Manually

   Maintenance mode must be manually turned off.

   Duration

   Maintenance mode is turned on for the number of days that you select.

   Specific end-time

   Maintenance mode is turned on until the date that you select.

   You can modify the duration while the entity is in maintenance mode.

5. Specify the reason that you are setting the entity in maintenance mode:

   If predefined reasons were configured

   Select a reason from the drop-down list. In the text box, add a description of the issue or adjust the existing text, if one is provided. This text is shown as a tooltip when hovering over the entity icon.

   NOTE: Every reason is assigned a color. All User Interface (UI) elements for the entity, such as its icon, label, and the selector, are highlighted in the color associated to the reason wherever they appear in the application. This helps users quickly identify why the entity is in maintenance mode. By default, no reason is specified and the entity icon is highlighted in orange.

   If predefined reasons were not configured

   In the text box, add a description of the issue. This text is shown as a tooltip when hovering over the entity icon.

   NOTE: All User Interface (UI) elements for the entity, such as its icon, label, and the selector, are highlighted in orange.

6. Click Save.
