View classic scheduled downtimes

To get a full view of scheduled, active, or historical downtimes, navigate to Monitoring > Scheduled Downtimes. This page provides detailed information to help you monitor and manage downtimes effectively.

Viewing downtimes Copied

By default, the page displays the Live View which summarizes ongoing downtimes and those scheduled in the future.

Once a downtime ends or is cancelled, the record moves to the Historical View for auditing and reporting purposes.

Columns in both views Copied

Both Live View and Historical View display the following information:

• Start Time — date or timestamp of the beginning of the downtime period.

• Scheduled End Time — date or timestamp of the scheduled end of the downtime period.

• Duration — duration of the downtime, between the start time and the current time.

• Comment — when downtime is scheduled, you must enter a description for it. The comment will appear in this column. You can also filter this column using the grid header menu to search for specific text within the comments.

• Objects — total number of Host and Service Checks affected by this downtime. Clicking this value displays the list of affected Hosts and Service Checks.

  

• User — username of the person who scheduled the downtime. This can also be filtered via the grid header menu to search for a specific string inside usernames.

• End Time (Historical View only) — actual timestamp when the downtime ended.

Canceling downtimes Copied

You can cancel any downtime that is scheduled but not yet started or is currently active.

Warning

Historical downtimes cannot be cancelled, as they have already occurred. They remain in the grid for reporting and auditing purposes.

To cancel all scheduled downtimes at once, click Cancel All in the top-right corner of the page.
