A maintenance window is a planned stretch of time when Tallwatch should not open, close, or page incidents. Use it for downtime you already know about. Scope it to all monitors on a status page or one monitor. Windows show on your public status page and suppress alerts. Create one from a status page’s Maintenance tab (Status pages → [page] → Maintenance), or via the API.

​
How it works

During the window, consensus does not open, close, or page. Probes may still run. An incident that is already open is not auto-resolved; resolve it yourself (app or API) if the outage is done. In the app or API, pick All monitors (every monitor on that status page) or a single monitor. Windows are one-off. Edit or delete a window if the time is wrong.

Pause instead

For an open-ended silence on one monitor, . Pause keeps history but stops checks. Pause can undo.
