- Use maintenance timing supplied by your team.

- 5Test with one real maintenance request and review the downtime.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow determine when maintenance will happen?
No. The webhook request or instruction must provide the planned window and scope.
Can it suppress all alerts automatically?
The downtime scope should be specified carefully in the request. Review the resulting configuration in Datadog.
