Disabling multiple nodes for a specific time

From time to time, I need to select 20-30 servers and schedule the nodes to be unmonitored from one date/time to another. Currently, the only way to do it is to go in one by one (which is quite tedious) and schedule each one. I was hoping there was some PowerShell back end to NetCrunch or later that would allow me to run a command instead.

Applies to 15.x 14.x 13.x 12.x 11.x 10.x

You don't need to disable monitoring on nodes one by one. You can multi-select them on a map or list, and disable monitoring on all selected nodes at once.

There is also a REST API feature in NetCrunch that allows disabling monitoring (among other options) by running commands. Disabling node monitoring is one of the described use cases, so please refer to it.
