Hello,

Is there an easy way to use the API to disable Splunk alerts during a maintenance window? Say for instance, disable the Send Email action for the alert via Rest API.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jay

This might help someone in the future who needs to use Curl.

To disable email for an alert
curl -k -u admin:pass https://splunkserver:8089/servicesNS/nobody/search/saved/searches/MyAlert1 -d "actions="

To enable email for an alert
curl -k -u admin:pass https://splunkserver:8089/servicesNS/nobody/search/saved/searches/MyAlert1 -d "actions=email"

Is a Splunk restart required after making this call?

@titleistfour does this apply if we are triggering alert notifications from Splunk through Microsoft outlook as well ? also if we disable during the maintenance ,do they get stored an trigger in bulk once we setup the connection after maintenance?

Looks like I just need to use the API to send

POST saved/searches/{name} with actions = rss for the parameters to disable.
POST saved/searches/{name} with actions = rss,email for the parameters to enable.

I think.
