Dashboard for Servers in Maintenance Mode

Hi all,

I need to know when someone puts a Server or Group of Servers in Maintenance Mode.

Thinking of throwing this on a Dashboard where the team can see servers going in MM mode and also would be ideal to setup alert on this as well.

Preferably with the following values:

Name of Server/s

Reason

By Who

Start Time

End Time

Total Duration

Anyone has this already setup that they can share or provide me with a Powershell that they might have that works.

You can create a tile scoped to the class “Windows Server” and use the Criteria:

InMaintenanceMode = 1

Example:

This property is not available for groups and you can’t grab the maintenance mode details (who/when/comment).

For this, perhaps a PowerShell task is the best option, where you can return the results from get-scommaintenancemode cmdlet.

As for alerting, I’m fairly sure you could use a PowerShell alert rule to do the same.
