We’re thrilled to introduce a new feature in Sematext Synthetics: Scheduled Monitor Pauses!

This is useful when you know monitors will start failing during a certain time period, such as during planned maintenance. Instead of disabling a monitor or deleting it, you can simply specify one or more time periods during which a monitor should be paused.

You can set up pauses for multiple monitors all at once or create multiple schedules.

No longer will you need to remember to disable a monitor for a specific reason within a certain time range. You can simply define a time range to pause the runs, and we’ll automatically handle the pausing during that time for you. This eliminates the need for manual intervention.

When you’ve set up a pause schedule, you’ll see a pause icon next to your monitors. This makes it really easy to see which monitors are paused.
