Can I snooze a single check on a monitor instead of all notifications?
Yes. Snoozing in Oh Dear is per check, not per monitor. That means you can silence "certificate expires soon" alerts on one monitor without affecting its uptime alerts, or vice versa.
How to snooze a specific check
- Open the monitor.
- Click the check type you want to snooze (Uptime, Certificate Health, Broken Links, etc.).
- Click Snooze.
- Pick how long: an hour, a day, a week, or a custom duration.
While a check is snoozed, its runs still happen and its results are still recorded (so your history isn't interrupted), but no notifications fire until the snooze expires or you unsnooze manually.
Snooze vs. maintenance window vs. disable
Easy to confuse, so here's the short version:
- Snooze: silence alerts on one or more checks for a set duration. Runs still happen, history is intact.
- Maintenance window: silence alerts for all checks on a monitor during a specific time period, and exclude any failures from your uptime percentage.
- Disable: stop the check from running entirely. No runs, no results, no alerts. Use this when you no longer want the check at all.
Rule of thumb:
- Just avoiding a short burst of noise? Snooze.
- Known downtime during a deploy? Maintenance window.
- Permanently not interested in this check? Disable.
Snoozing directly from a notification
Every alert email and Slack message includes a direct Snooze link. Click it to silence future alerts for that specific check for 24 hours, without having to log into Oh Dear.
