Adding a maintenance window to an object

In order to apply a new maintenance Window to an object, simply add the configuration string to the object comments. Of course, one object can have multiple maintenance windows. It will look like this:

maintenance[monthly-1-9/06/2017|-1su|all|all|23:00|23:30|Server Maintenance - Updates]
maintenance[weekly-2-9/06/2017|mo,tu,we,su|all|all|23:00|23:30|SLA Window]

Disabling a maintenance window

In order to pause a maintenance window, simply add a # to the opening bracket:

maintenance[#weekly-2-9/06/2017|mo,tu,we,su|all|all|23:00|23:30|SLA Window]

In the next run, PRTG Scheduler will check if the maintenance has already been set and if so, it will remove it. This is done by identifying the maintenance string via its MD5 hash, which will be added to the PRTG Scheduler's comments upon setting the maintenance. Disabled maintenance windows will also be marked as such in the report.
