Disable Host Monitoring via Prometheus
If you need to disable host monitoring in Prometheus, you can do it through the Alertmanager. This way, you will stop receiving alerts to email or Slack.
1. Access your platform’s monitoring dashboard via the following link (use your platform domain):
https://jms.{platform_domain}.com/ |
Click the Alertmanager button and log in with the Prometheus admin credentials.
2. Switch to the Silences tab and click the New Silence button.
3. Provide the following data:
- Start/End – set the action’s start and end time. For example, you can disable alerts during maintenance.
- Matchers – provide one or several conditions (all must be matched) to identify nodes to disable alerts. For example: job=“virtuozzo-7”, instance=“172.16.0.11”.
- Creator – add your admin name for tracking.
- Comment – provide short description of the task.
Click Create when ready.
4. Review your task after its creation and verify a list of affected alerts.
5. You can modify your task with the Edit button to adjust your conditions. Click the Update button to apply changes.
If you want to terminate a silence task prematurely, click Expire and then the Confirm button.
