Hi,
Does anyone know how to stop emails alerts during a specified time period? For instance, I receive a lot of emails from VCOPS during my backup window that I really don't care about. Running VCOPS 5.8.3 advanced.
Thanks
You will have to explore how to modify configured alerts+email notifications etc.
Refer:VMware KB: Working with Alert Notification Rules in vCenter Operations Manager
You may want to consider using Custom UI's maintenance schedules to avoid the alerts. You can learn more about them in the vC Ops Custom UI admin guide.
