|
||
password
string
|
Default: "P@ssw0rd!"

begin
integer
|
UNIX time at which silence entry goes into effect.
|
||
check
string
|
The name of the check the entry should match.
If left empty a silencing entry will contain an asterisk in the check position. This indicates that any event where the originating entities subscriptions match the subscription specified in the entry will be marked as silenced, regardless of the check name.
This parameter is required if the subscription parameter is absent.
|
||
expire
integer

Number of seconds until the silence expires.
|
||
