Technical works
Technical works allow disabling checks for a specified time, so that scheduled operations do not generate false alarms.
When to use
- Server or database maintenance during night window.
- Scheduled migration with expected short-term availability pauses.
- Test work on temporarily disabled infrastructure.
How to fill
| Field | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Name | Short text to easily find the rule in the list. |
| Type | One-time, daily, weekly, or monthly launch. |
| Time zone | Optionally: in which time to calculate the schedule. |
| Date/time | For each type, these are separate fields: exact date for one-time launch, time for regular repetitions. |
| Duration | How long the service is considered disabled within the rule. |
| Tasks | Set of checks for which errors will not be generated during the work period. |
Please note: if a task is included in technical works, notifications about its failure during this period are not generated,
and after recovery, the check continues on the regular schedule.
Useful to remember
- One-time works are best set with exact start time and reasonable duration margin.
- For regular works, create a rule and check the list of affected tasks before launch.
