Alerts and Maintenance

[Tractorboy]

This may have a very simple solution, but in short

I have an application that goes into maintenance every evening, so all the alerts are supressed by testing for "in maintenance" as part of the alert check.

But then if the item is still an issue after the maintenance the alert never fires.

Is there a way to stop alerts during maintenance, but then for them to fire if there is a problem?

I believe you might be able to do this using escalations?

you can try to configure the check only for the period of time the application is really in production.
You can do this by using the flexible interval function.
