Maintenance Windows

My searches are coming up dry so what functionality does HQ contain for mass disabling of alerting during a Maintenance window?

Let me clarify what is going to be in 3.1:

In our Enterprise Edition, Roles will have time-windows where they
are able to receive (or specifically not receive) alerts. This is
very useful when you have certain teams which are responsible for
fixing problems at different times of the day -- whoever is on call
gets the alert.

However, this does not prevent alerts from firing. We do not have
calendars associated with the actual definitions (yet).

If all you are looking for is to not receive emails during the time
window, then 3.1 EE will have what you're looking for. However, if
you also need the definitions to not fire (and thus not log any
alerts) then it won't. This is something that we will be adding in
the very near future, as it's one of our more requested features.

Maintenance windows will be a feature in the 3.1 release. Roles will have calendars where alerts can be scheduled to be excluded.
