Configuring Maintenance Schedules to deal with planned downtime

Author: ArunThere are some occasions when you may want to take your web site, web application or e-mail server offline for some upgrade or maintenance purpose. In such cases, you will receive notifications indicating that the site, or the application are unavailable. Since the site is not available when pinged during the maintenance period, unnecessary notifications are sent. To prevent your sites or apps from being monitored for status during maintenance, you can schedule a maintenance task for such monitors. To schedule a maintenance task, click 'Schedule Maintenance->Add Schedule' link. Provide details such as schedule name, description, recurrence details (i.e. daily, weekly or once), start and end times. All the monitors configured in your account will be listed in the 'Available Monitors' box. Select the required monitors and move it to the 'Selected Monitors' box. Click the 'Add' button to complete the configuration. The details of the schedule can then be seen from the 'Schedule Details' section under 'Alerts' tab.

Once the schedule is activated, you will not receive notifications from Site24x7 during that time period. What's your take on the 'Schedule Maintenance' enhancement? Pour in your feedback to support@site24x7.com
