RPC API: Add SDTs

Note that LogicMonitor does have an available REST API equivalent for this API call.

Scheduled Down Time (SDT) allows you to suppress alert notifications for a specific time period: daily, weekly, or monthly. LogicMonitor’s RPC API allows you to programmatically manage SDTs for:

  • Devices
  • Device Groups
  • Device Datasources
  • Device Datasource Instances
  • Device Datasource Instance Groups
  • Collectors

You can use setSDT to add an SDT for one of the above entities.

Note: As with all of our API calls, authentication is required.

https://accountName.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rpc/set{Entity}SDT?agentId=agentIdNum&id=0&type=typeNum1&year=startYear&month=startMonth&day=startDay&hour=startHour&minute=startMinute&endYear=endYear&endMonth=endMonth&endDay=endDay&endHour=endHour&endMinute=endMinute

where {Entity} must be:

  • Host
  • HostGroup
  • HostDataSource
  • DataSourceInstance
  • HostDataSourceInstanceGroup
  • Agent

Request Parameters: You can include the following as query parameters in your request:
