How can I set a maintenance window daily?

Our backups run every night around 2 am. This sends a number of alerts due to latency and traffic on the network.

Is there a way I can suppress the alerts during this time frame, or set a daily maintenance window?

I attempted in alert manager to configure the email alert to suppress sending anything between that period but it did not seem to work.

I've looked online but most of the things I've found talk about other specific products which we do not have.

Thanks!

Hi @omorganx

there are 2 options (option1 preferable )you can try

1) you can try add that node in scheduled maintenance

2) you can disabled the alerts for the mentioned time in time of the day action

Thanks! The time of day action is that in Orion itself or using that tool? I'd like to just suppress the alerts and keep the monitoring if that's possible?

Ok I think I found it: https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/core-setting-the-time-of-day-or-schedule-sw1028.htm

But not sure where exactly.

you find this option when you create or edit the alert there will be a separate tab (time of day)
