Monitoring Splunk

How do I suppress monitors in the Website Monitoring app for a maintenance window?

I would like to create a maintenance window for the URL monitors inside the Website Monitoring app for ex. from midnight to 2am. Rather than disable and having to re-enable them manually is there a way to do this via the app or possible a query? Thank you in advance.

hello there,

couple of ways you can try:
modify the cron schedule of the alerts not to run at your maintenance windows, see screenshot below.
modify the searches that triggers the alerts and populate the dashboards to reflect maintenance windows

hope it helps

Just to make understand,Do you want to stop getting data or stop viewing data in dashboard?

Stop viewing in the dashboard. For example: We have a weekly outage on Fridays from 10pm-2am. We don't want any alerts to be produced or see errors in the dashboard.
