A maintenance window tells Stector you're expecting planned downtime, so it holds back alerts and incident creation for the monitors you specify instead of treating the outage as unexpected. This guide covers how to schedule one and what it does and doesn't suppress.
Maintenance windows are scheduled by Admin or Owner roles, from a status page's maintenance section. Each window targets the components and/or monitors you choose. While a window is active, Stector still records a monitor's real status — its status history is unaffected — but it holds back the alert and the incident that would normally follow a failing check.
From a status page's maintenance list at /dashboard/status-pages/[id]/maintenance, click Schedule maintenance and fill in:
Click Schedule maintenance to save it.
A window moves through its own states automatically: Scheduled, then In progress, then Completed. You can cancel a window with the Cancel maintenance button while it's Scheduled or In progress. Once a window is Completed or Cancelled, it can no longer be modified.
SSL expiry warnings still fire during an active maintenance window — they're informational rather than incident-driving, so the suppression doesn't apply to them. Your status page's component status also continues to reflect the monitor's real state; maintenance only holds back the alert and incident, not the status computation itself.
