Do not trigger alert at certain times

Introduction

This article explains how to configure an alerts trigger during a specified timeframe. This can reduce the likelihood of false alarms during platform maintenance or expected increases in system log activity.

Configuration

The "Special Functions" detailed on the Alert Configuration page can be used to work around certain months, days, and hours. Otherwise, alerts are always "on." For added convenience, the local timezone can be specified.

For example, this trigger is not triggered between 02:00 and 03:00 (UTC timezone)

sumPerSecond:30m(<conditions>) > <threshold> && !(hourOfDay(\"UTC\") >= 2 && hourOfDay(\"UTC\") < 4)
