MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_NONE

Sorry for the delay in getting the response posted. I needed to verify some details before getting a response.

 

 

Anyways, the MonitorRuleType::MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_NONE actually should only be returned from get_monitor_association( ). MonitorRuleType::MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_UNDEFINED is used to indicate an uninitialized state. They are NOT meant to be used to disable monitoring. I'll update the iControl SDK documentation to clearly indicate this, and will update the iControl code to raise an exception when these monitor rule types are passed in to the set_monitor_association( ).

 

 

Currently, one has to remove the monitor associations to disable monitoring, and re-add them to enable monitoring. You can do this in iControl using the remove_monitor_association and set_monitor_association methods respectively.

 

 

The health monitor system design is such that there's no way to temporarily disable monitoring on an object without removing the monitor associations first. I'll enter a request for this enhancement.

 

 

Regards,
