Maintenance windows

Plan downtime so nobody is woken up and your uptime figures stay honest.

Last reviewed November 11, 2026

A maintenance window tells UptimeWave that downtime is expected. While it is active, monitors keep checking, but no alerts are sent and the time does not count against uptime.

  1. Open Maintenance and choose New window.
  2. Choose how often: one time, daily, weekly or monthly. For weekly, pick the days.
  3. Set the start time and how long it lasts.
  4. Choose the monitors it covers.

The form shows the next few occurrences, in your time zone, so you can check it is what you meant.
