Adding SDT to Collector

You can manage Scheduled Down Time (SDT) of your collectors just as you can for your LogicMonitor resources. The SDTs for your collector suppresses alert notifications for any collector down alerts triggered during the SDT (these alerts will still be displayed in your LogicMonitor account). You can schedule SDT for your collectors during maintenance windows or other periods of anticipated downtime. Note that if a collector goes down while it is in SDT, it will still failover all assigned devices to the backup collector, if one is assigned, and you will still be notified of this failover.

Collector SDTs are kept separate from general host/group SDTs in order to prevent unintended alert suppression stemming from your SDT’d collector.

You can add an SDT that applies to a single collector or multiple collectors.
