Outages API - V3 

If you have a maintenance window or a scheduled outage for a device then you will likely want to suspend alerting for that device during that period.

NMIS has supported this for a long time, please refer to the NMIS Outages documentation for further information. 

Now, it is also possible to manage Outages within the Administration console or API.

Public API for Outages "http[s]://server/en/omk/admin/api/v3/outages"

We can view Enterprise Services below using these endpoints - http[s]://server/en/omk/admin/api/v3/outages
