<%NUMBERING1%>.<%NUMBERING2%>.<%NUMBERING3%> PRTG Manual: Scheduling

With schedules, you can automatically pause certain objects for a certain time, for example, on Sundays between 04:00 and 08:00. A paused sensor does not collect monitoring data, does not change its status, and does not trigger any notifications. You can also pause monitoring for planned system maintenance time spans to avoid false alarms. You can apply different schedules to every object. Schedules are also used for reports and notifications.

If you pause a master object by schedule or manually, you do not trigger a status change by dependency. For more details, see the Knowledge Base: Why will dependent objects not go into paused status automatically when I pause the master object?

Available Default Schedules in Device Settings

Schedules are user account specific. To change the default predefined schedules or to add your own schedules, see section Account Settings—Schedules.

If you use a cluster with cluster nodes in different time zones, the schedule applies at the local time of each cluster node. For more information, see section Failover Cluster Configuration—Before Getting Started.
