When you <<rule-details,view alert details>> in {kib}, each alert shows unique identifiers for maintenance windows that affected it.

NOTE: The `flapping` state is possible only if you have enabled alert flapping detection in *{stack-manage-app}* > *{rules-ui}* > *Settings*. For each space, you can choose a look back window and threshold that are used to determine whether alerts are flapping. For example, you can specify that the alert must change status at least 6 times in the last 10 runs. If the rule has actions that run when the alert status changes, those actions are suppressed while the alert is flapping.

If an alert was affected by a maintenance window, its identifier appears in the *Maintenance windows* column.
For more information about their impact on alert notifications, refer to <<maintenance-windows>>.

You can suppress future actions for a specific alert by turning on the *Mute* toggle. If a muted alert no longer meets the rule conditions, it stays in the list to avoid generating actions if the conditions recur. You can also disable a rule, which stops it from running checks and clears any alerts it was tracking. You may want to disable rules that are not currently needed to reduce the load on {kib} and {es}.
