Action
Mute Monitor
Mute a monitor in datadog. temporarily silences alerts from a monitor, which is useful during maintenance windows, deployments, or when investigating known issues to prevent alert fatigue.
Why this helps

- Uses a consistent trigger path
- Keeps maintenance context tied to the action
