Create a maintenance window

Monitoring modes

Choose how monitoring checks and alert notifications should behave during maintenance:
  • pause: Pauses all checks on attached monitors. No incidents are created, keeping your SLA and uptime metrics intact. Paused monitors are automatically resumed when the window ends.
  • mute: Keeps running checks in the background to record telemetry and latency data, but silences all alert notifications (e.g. Slack, email, SMS).
  • normal: Checks and alerts operate as usual, but the maintenance window is announced on connected status pages.

Timings & Format

  • starts_at: Must be formatted in ISO 8601 with minute precision (e.g. 2026-09-05T14:30:00Z). Seconds must be set to :00. Must be greater than or equal to the current time and within 1 year.
  • ends_at: Must be after starts_at and within 1 year.
