Create an exclusion interval for alerts
Exclusion intervals define a time in which alerts are suppressed. For example, if you do not want to be notified about alerts after hours or on the weekends, create an exclusion interval that specifies the time period to suppress alerts.

Click the System Settings icon
and then click Alerts.
- Click the Exclusion Intervals tab, and then click New.
- Enter a unique name for the exclusion interval in the Name field.
- (Optional):
In the Assign to All section, you can assign the exclusion
interval to all alert configurations or only to trend alert configurations.
- To assign the exclusion interval to all existing and future alert configurations, click Alerts .
- To assign the exclusion interval to all existing and future trend alert configurations, click Trend.

From the Exclude section, specify one of the following
time frame options for the exclusion interval:
- To set a one-time exclusion interval, select From.
