Scheduled maintenance has evolved into a useful tool to plan and
manage the routine maintenance of IT resources. We already support
one-time maintenance and repeated maintenance viz., daily and
weekly; now, we're excited to extend support
for monthly maintenance.
With the all new scheduled monthly maintenance, you can create
flexible maintenance windows for your monitors. You can either
schedule maintenance window based on a specific date or a
specific Nth weekday of the month.
In the add schedule maintenance form, select the frequency as
"Monthly" and pick ?Set Recurrence":
- By Date
- By Day
Monthly recurrence By Date:
By specifying a predefined date & time of the month along
with the duration of maintenance, you can quickly create a monthly
maintenance window for your monitors. You?ve to only provide the
"Start Time" of your maintenance by adding the
date and time (as per your time zone settings in the format HH: MM)
and the expected "Maintenance Duration" (in
minutes). However, the maximum allowed value for maintenance duration
is 1440 minutes (24 hours). In case you choose the date as 31st (which
isn't available in all the calendar months); the maintenance
window will be active for those months alone when there are 31
calendar days; the maintenance window will cease to exist during rest
of the months.
Monthly recurrence By Day:
The maintenance window will be activated based on the chosen Nth weekday of the month. Let?s say you pick the value of Start Week as ?Fourth Saturday of every month.? Additionally, you?ve specified the "Start Time" (as per your time zone settings in the format HH: MM) and the expected ?Maintenance Duration" (in minutes). The maintenance window shall be active for the specified maintenance duration on the Fourth Saturday of every calendar month, irrespective of the date on that calendar day. Again, the maximum allowed value for maintenance duration is 1440 minutes (24 hours).
Alternately, you can use Site24x7 REST APIs to create a monthly maintenance window for your monitored resources remotely. Read our API documentation to learn how to add a Scheduled Monthly Maintenance window using our APIs.
