Alert tuning help

Hi team. Hopefuly someone can point me into the right direction when it comes to disabling alert tuning at a group level.

We have a group with a large number of network devices, and would like to disable alerting on all interfaces at the group level. However, there are a few device interfaces we would like to keep alerting enabled.

When we look at the device at the resource level, we can see the alert is disable at the group level, but can't figure out how to override it to allow alerting at the resource level

    I was afraid of that. Im not too familiar with scripting with the LM API so I have a bit of research and learning to do.

    I don't believe you can. While you can override other things like thresholds, I don't think you can override alert disable. What you can try is to remove the thresholds at the root level or from the DataSource itself and instead set them just on the instances you want. That might be the easiest.

    I guess another approach can be to write a script using the LM API to go thru each device and disable alerting at the instance level. Then you can manually enable the ones you want (like uplinks). You may want to also modify the datasource to also disable instances on discovery too, although that will disable data collection, not just alerting.
