Maintenance mode in ICC

Maintenance mode in ICC - currently we do have a functionality to put servers in some maintenance mode ,so that it does not create alerts at that point but logs every other detail . At present, we either have to turn down the server or shut down ICC. This feature is available with other monitoring tools.

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

for any activity planned on MQFTE, Sterling or SSP, we can put the servers on maintenance mode so that any alert for that particular server does not surface during that activity.
