While doing maintenance, we have to pause the related sensors so we don't trigger false alerts. When pausing, however, monitoring stops completely.
During maintenance, it's extremely helpful to use PRTG to verify that all sensors are in a green state before completing maintenance. Some of our devices have many dozens of sensors checking various stats. Having to check every one of these manually before resuming the sensor gets quite tedious, and just unpausing the sensor risks something not being functional and triggering a downtime alert / impacting downtime stats.
In an ideal scenario, there's a way to pause a sensor, but have PRTG still monitoring it. That way we can see what the sensors are reporting, but PRTG is not storing the data so it doesn't trigger notifications, or impact downtime, stats, or logging statistics.
Is this something that can be done today? If not, this would be an extremely useful feature.
