PRTG Manual: Schedules
The Schedules page allows you to create schedules that can be used either to configure a maintenance period or to schedule reports. Use schedules to define periods of time where downtime is considered planned.
For example, consider the schedule "Test environment outage" below. All downtime that happens between midnight (00:00) on November 6, 2023 and 11:55 PM (23:55) on December 7, 2023 is considered planned downtime.
