Suppress alerts schedule
Suppress alerts during a schedule. I.e. admins can match suppressed alerts schedule to certain tasks e.g. backups (when resources utilisation is often peaked and causes many alerts).

Disabling alerts during a schedule maintenance/backup is critical. Right now its just creating very unnecessary noise. Right now I am getting alerts because a server went unresponsive for a little bit during a backup and just ignoring it every time as noise. If a server actually has a problem during the backup and doesn't come back I likely wont know it until hours later.
If I could suppress the alerts for say 20 minutes around the backup window every time automatically, I would then know if I get an alert that it is legitimate and needs looked into instead of just ignoring it as noise.
This seems like a pretty basic option that many other platforms have supported for a long time.

Another use case regarding this topic, which I think is crucial
Public cloud Servers
These get often Autoscaled/Shut off during night time to save money.
At the moment I have several Azure servers which are shut down during night and create alarms in Atera until they are automatically powerend on again. From a reporting perspective the Uptime-Reliability is then not met even if in reality the server is a 100% for the necessary amount of time.Other solutions have implemented some kind of scheduled downtime where I can decide at which specific hours the monitoring agent should not create any alert (per device/device group !)
