We have some devices that we know run high CPU overnight during backups etc so what is the best way to suppress a single metric event for one (or multiple) devices at a specific time (e.g. 02:00 -> 04:00) on specific days (e.g Mon -> Fri) from alerting out via powerflow, can this be suppressed at a metric level (as we don;t want to suppres the entire device), or can this be suppressed at a PowerFlow level to then not be sent on during these suppress times/days ?

The SL1 way to handle this would be to create a Device Group for these devices.  The create an a scheduled automation to add the Device Group to the event suppression at 02:00.  Another scheduled automation would be needed to remove the Device Group from the event suppression at 04:00.
