7.7 Understanding Monitoring Schedules

By default, Change Guardian policies monitor computers and asset groups continuously. A monitoring schedule allows you to define specific times when a policy or policy set monitors computers and asset groups. For example, you can suspend monitoring during scheduled maintenance times, which eliminates events generated as a result of the maintenance. When you assign a policy or policy set to an asset or asset group, you can attach a monitoring schedule.

Scheduled monitoring supports days of the week and inclusive intervals during a day.

Examples of valid time restrictions include:

  • Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 3-5 p.m.

  • Mondays from 3-5 p.m. and Tuesdays from 4-6 p.m.

  • Mondays from Midnight-7 a.m., 9 AM-2 p.m., and 6 p.m.-Midnight

To create a monitoring schedule:

  1. Log in to the Policy Editor.

  2. Click Settings > Schedule Monitoring Time.

  3. Click Add.

  4. In the Schedule Time window, select the time(s) and day(s) you want Change Guardian to stop monitoring, and then select Don’t Monitor.
