+
+You can schedule single or recurring maintenance windows to temporarily reduce rule notifications.
+For example, a maintenance window prevents false alarms during planned outages.
+
+Maintenance windows affect all rules in all {kib} apps and spaces.
+Alerts continue to be generated, however notifications are suppressed as follows:
+
+- When an alert occurs during a maintenance window, there are no notifications.
+When the alert recovers, there are no notifications--even if the recovery occurs after the maintenance window ends.
+- When an alert occurs before a maintenance window and recovers during or after the maintenance window, notifications are sent as usual.

+
+- To have full access to maintenance windows, you must have `All` privileges for the *Management > Maintenance Windows* feature.

+== Create and manange maintenance windows
+
+In *Management > {stack-manage-app} > Maintenance Windows*, you can create, edit, and archive maintenance windows.

+A maintenance window can have any one of the following statuses:
+
+- `Upcoming`: It will run at the scheduled date and time.
+- `Running`: It is running.

+- `Archived`: It is archived. In a future release, archived maintenance windows will be queued for deletion.
