How do I set the maintenance cycle

How do I set the maintenance cycle ?  such as silence all alarms from 0:00 to 1:00 am every day?

You can create silences in advance & there is an API to create them
automaticlly.

Does this mean That I have to maintain a timer task to create and delete the corresponding silence rules every day ？

That would be one possibility. This could also be automated using cron
or something.

We chose a different approach and solve that on the alerting side using
specific rules and inhibition:

Kind regards,

For the moment yes, but we expect to have that kind of features
available directly in alertmanager soon (time windows).

If you are coming from a Zabbix world, there is no equivalent maintenance mechanic in Prometheus. Most of the service assurance/service mapping is not part of the Prometheus stack.

Silences are only active between X and Y and will expire after Y. They cannot repeat so you'll need some kind of external mechanism to create and delete the silences.
