sorry, I had a wrong click!

otherwise, you can insert in your search a condition that gives no results in the maintenance period.

Ciao.

Hi @sureshkumaar ,

you can disable it from the "Searches, Reports and Alerts" dashboard.

Then enable it again when you'll finish your maintenance.

Ciao.

Hi @sureshkumaar ,

find in [Settings -- Searches, Reports, and Alers] your alert (eventually using the filters on the top),

then click on Edit and Disable/Enable it.

Ciao.
