Create a silence
Silences stop notifications from getting created and last for only a specified window of time.
To add a silence:
- In the Grafana menu, click the Alerting (bell) icon to open the Alerting page listing existing alerts.
- In the Alerting page, click Silences to open the page listing existing contact points.
- From Alertmanager drop-down, select an external Alertmanager to create and manage silences for the external data source. Otherwise, keep the default option of Grafana.
- Click New Silence to open the Create silence page.
- In Silence start and end, select the start and end date to indicate when the silence should go into effect and expire.
- Optionally, in Duration, specify how long the silence is enforced. This automatically updates the end time in the Silence start and end field.
- In the Name and Value fields, enter one or more Matching Labels. Matchers determine which rules the silence will apply to. For more information, see [Label matching for alert suppression]({{< relref "./label-matching-alert-suppression.md" >}}).
- In Comment, add details about the silence.
- In Creator, enter the name of the silence owner or keep the default owner.
- Click Create.
