Mute timings

    Similar to silences, mute timings do not prevent alert rules from being evaluated, nor do they stop alert instances from being shown in the user interface. They only prevent notifications from being created.

    The following table highlights the key differences between mute timings and silences.

    1. In the Grafana menu, click the Alerting (bell) icon to open the Alerting page listing existing alerts.
    2. Click Notification policies.
    3. At the bottom of the page there will be a section titled Mute timings. Click the Add mute timing button.
    4. You will be redirected to a form to create a time interval to match against for your mute timing.
    5. Click Submit to create the mute timing.
    1. Identify the notification policy you would like to add the mute timing to and click the Edit button for that policy.
    2. From the Mute Timings dropdown select the mute timings you would like to add to the route.
    3. Click the Save policy button to save.

    Supported time interval options are:

    If you want to specify an exact duration, specify all the options. For example, if you wanted to create a time interval for the first Monday of the month, for March, June, September, and December, between the hours of 12:00 and 24:00 UTC your time interval specification would be:

    • Time range:
      • Start time:
      • End time: 24:00
    • Days of the week: monday
    • Months:
    • Days of the month: 1:7
