Maintenance Hours

Navigate to: Configurator » Application Settings » Maintenance tab

Maintenance Windows are time periods when VitalSigns does not attempt to monitor the specific server. This is useful for those time periods when you know the server will be down for backup, patches, etc. During this time VitalSigns will not send out any alerts about the server nor count any downtime.
