When performing maintenance on a system, I will "Pause" Notifications to prevent a flood of emails on machines I know are being serviced. Sometime, I forget to "Resume" and then we don't get any notifications.

The addition of a start and end date for schedules would allow me to set the maintenance window for a specific time period versus having it reoccur each week.

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. You could use the "Maintenance Window"-function now in PRTG, on the "Settings" of the device/group that is undergoing maintenance. This will pause all sensors, and so subsequently all notifications. But the sensors will be automatically resumed upon the end of the window.
