Pausing monitors and maintenances ​

Pausing Monitors ​

If you want to temporarily pause monitors, such as during setup or testing, and avoid receiving downtime alerts, follow these steps:

• Go to the Monitors section.
• Select the monitor you want to pause.
• Click on Pause this monitor in the headline.
• The monitoring of the endpoint host will be suspended during this time.
• To resume monitoring, click on Unpause monitor.

Scheduled Maintenance Window ​

Scheduled maintenance windows are used for times when you're expecting downtime to occur, and don't want to be alerted. This could be, for example, when running maintenance scripts in your infrastructure or provisioning a new infrastructure.

To add a maintenance window:

• Go to the Monitors section.
• Pick the monitor you want to add a maintenance window to.
• Click Configure in the headline.
• Click Advanced settings.
• Enter your maintenance window time in the Maintenance window between section, and select the right time zone.
• Click Save changes.
