We have just launched an improvement in the web tool, this new feature will allow you disable automatically some tests while your site or servers are down due to maintenance tasks, this way the availability statistics will not be affected negatively by maintenance downtimes.

So, you can program the timeframe when you will be doing maintenance jobs as “Maintenance Windows” in the web tool. This can be enabled in a new tab in the test administration menu. The windows can be defined either as periodic tasks, for example done every day from 0:00 to 1:30, or as punctual interventions on a specific date.

With this feature you can control availability measurements and what is more important, you will not receive any more error alerts while maintenance is being done.
