Hi,
I have hundreds of saved searches for monitors running in the search heads frequently 24 * 7. Is there a way to disable all email alert for all saved searches when I am doing maintenance work on the indexers e.g. restarting. It's quite annoying to get false alarms due to failed searches.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. Go to Manager >> System Settings >> Email alert settings and remove the Mail Host information (just remember what it was so you can put it back when you're done).

Take a look at this answer http://answers.splunk.com/answers/65828/inhibiting-alerts-from-saved-searches-that-had-search-errors...
It was valid for all pre Splunk 6 sendemail.py scripts. For the Splunk 6.x scripts I have to test it first.

Make sense. So it will require change on the python script that is used to send email.
E.g. Exit the email python program is the message Level is ERROR

In the case of failed searches I believe it has to do with the trigger for the alert, but I'll have to test it.

Thank you. I just gave it a try and it's working. This can be used for planned change.
I wish there is a way that email alert won't go out to the recipients due to failed search.
