Maintenance Windows

Tell DashX when planned work is happening so it suppresses alerts during the window — no false pages while you're rebooting on purpose.

Schedule a window​

  1. Go to Automation → Maintenance → New Window.
  2. Set:
    • Name (e.g. Weekend DB Maintenance) and description.
    • Start / end (or a duration in minutes, e.g. 120).
    • Recurring schedule if it repeats — a cron expression like 0 2 * * 0 (Sundays at 02:00).
    • The devices the window covers.
  3. Save.

During the window, alerts for the selected devices are muted/suppressed, so expected downtime doesn't trigger notifications.

tip

Schedule the window a little before and after the actual work — services flapping as they come back up won't fire alerts if the window still covers them.
