A maintenance window is a designated period of time during which unattended maintenance, potentially causing temporary disruption of service, may be performed.
Generally, it is advisable to configure the maintenance during those times of the day and week when the network is least busy. You can find the most suitable times for your own network by looking at the traffic chart on top of the devices list.
How to configure a maintenance window?
The weekly maintenance window can be configured in your network settings.
To configure your maintenance window you will need to:
- Log into the Plasma Cloud console;
- Select your Organisation and Network of interest from the top right menu;
- Navigate to Settings > Network in the main menu on the left;
