Suppression Windows

Overview

Suppression windows let you silence alerts during planned maintenance or known downtime periods. This prevents alert fatigue and unnecessary escalations.

Creating a Suppression Window

1. Navigate to Alerts > Suppression
2. Click Create Window
3. Configure:
   • Name — Description of the maintenance
   • Start time — When to begin suppression
   • End time — When to end suppression
   • Services — Which services to suppress (or all)
   • Severity — Which severity levels to suppress

Recurring Windows

Set up recurring suppression for regular maintenance:

• Daily (e.g., nightly batch jobs)
• Weekly (e.g., deployment windows)
• Custom cron schedule

Active Suppression Indicator

When a suppression window is active, the dashboard shows a visual indicator so your team knows alerts are being held.

Suppressed Alert History

Suppressed alerts are still recorded — they just don't trigger notifications. You can review suppressed alerts in the alert history for audit purposes.
