Resource SDT

Last updated - 07 April, 2026

You can use the Resource Scheduled Downtime feature to suppress alert notifications for monitored resources during planned maintenance windows. During the SDT window (that is, when the SDT is in progress), LogicMonitor continues to collect performance data and evaluate alert thresholds however, it pauses notifications and escalations. SDT prevents expected outages such as patches, upgrades, reboots, or infrastructure changes from generating unnecessary alerts. Resource SDT maintains alert integrity, reduce alert noise, and preserve the accuracy of notifications outside maintenance windows.

Resource SDTs can be applied to resources, resource groups, websites, Collectors, and LogicModules such as DataSources and EventSources. When an SDT is scheduled for a resource group, it cascades to all its child resources. You can schedule Resource SDT for a one-time frequency or on recurring basis to align with the maintenance cycles. You can modify, extend, or end an active SDT as operational needs. LogicMonitor provides visibility into scheduled and historical maintenance windows through tools such as the SDT Inventory Report.

You can schedule SDT for Websites and LogicMonitor Collectors. For more information, see Website SDT and Collector SDT.
