Adapt On-Call With Overrides & Maintenance
Be prepared for the (un)expected. Temporarily adjust your on-call schedules with overrides to react to vacations or sick days of team members. Or use maintenance and muted modes to pause alerting during work on your servers.

Below you can find some examples that demonstrate use cases and features of our override and maintenances features.
Manual Overrides For Team Members

Maintenance & Muted Modes
Planning server upgrades where you already know that some of your alarms will go off? Add Overrides for your team’s whole on-call calendar. Don't spam your team with false positive alerts. Instead, select “Maintenance” mode and prevent incident creation during the override period. Or choose 'Muted' to allow incident creation but suppress sending notifications to any team members.

Optimize Your Team’s On-Call Scheduling
🗓️ On-Call Schedules
Schedules form the foundation of your team’s on-call calendar. By setting up distinct schedules for various days and times throughout the week, you can ensure that the on-call responsibilities are evenly distributed among team members.
🔁 On-Call Rotations
Give team members well deserved breaks. Add rotations to your on-call schedules. Customize rotation frequencies and handoff times.
⬇️ Escalation Policies
Make you on-call calendar more resilient. Use escalations to automatically inform additional team members if an issue wasn’t addressed after a certain time. You can also use escalations to build a “safety net”, preparing for the unexpected.
