Schedule a Downtime

with Datadog
Works with AI assistants

Schedule, verify, and cancel a Datadog downtime.

  1. Schedule a downtime that mutes monitors matching the supplied scope and monitor tags.
  2. Fetch the created downtime by id to confirm it was scheduled and read its current state.
  3. Cancel the downtime so the mute window is closed out. Canceled downtimes are retained for approximately two days before permanent removal.
What you'll need to have ready
  • scope: The scope to apply the downtime to (e.g. "env:staging").
  • monitorTags: List of monitor tags the downtime applies to (matches all).
  • message: Optional message to include with downtime notifications.
