Business Service and Execution Plan status

With BMC Synthetic End User Experience Monitoring, you can disable monitoring and notifications, such as for maintenance or troubleshooting. You can directly disable a Business Service or Execution Plan, or you can disable them by setting blackout periods.

An Execution Plan inherits the active and inactive status from the associated Business Service, including the blackout periods. The relationship between a Business Service blackout period and an Execution Plan blackout period is a logical OR, meaning that the Execution Plan is in a blackout period if either the applicable Business Service, or the Execution Plan, or both are in blackout. For configuration details, see Defining an application to group Execution Plans and Defining an Execution Plan to run a script.

To see the factor or factors creating an inactive status, hover over the status. A tooltip displays the cause of the inactive status, such as displayed in the following figures:
