# Create a silence
|
|
|
|
Silences stop notifications from getting created and last for only a specified window of time.
|
|
|
|
To add a silence:
|
|
|
|
1. In the Grafana menu, click the **Alerting** (bell) icon to open the Alerting page listing existing alerts.
|
|
2. On the Alerting page, click **Silences** to open the page listing existing contact points.
|
|
3. 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.
|
|
4. Click **New Silence** to open the Create silence page.
|
|
5. In **Silence start and end**, select the start and end date to indicate when the silence should go into effect and expire.
|
|
6. Optionally, in **Duration**, specify how long the silence is enforced. This automatically updates the end time in the **Silence start and end** field.
|
|
7. 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 [how label matching works]({{< relref "../fundamentals/annotation-label/labels-and-label-matchers/" >}}).
|
|
8. In **Comment**, add details about the silence.
|
|
9. In **Creator**, enter the name of the silence owner or keep the default owner.
|
|
10. Click **Create**.
