Objective
Pause an alarm temporarily, for example during planned maintenance or a noisy migration, and switch it back on later, without deleting it and losing its configuration.

Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Monitor in the left sidebar.
- Select Alerts, then Alarms.
- Select the Manage alarms tab.
- Find the alarm in the list and look at the Status column.
- Select the switch in that row to change it. The switch reads On when the alarm is active and Off when it is paused.
- A confirmation message reading "Alarm status updated successfully" appears and the switch settles into its new position.
Additional Information
- Turning an alarm off keeps all of its settings, conditions, threshold, and notification methods, so switching it back on restores the same behavior.
- While an alarm is off it does not send email or webhook notifications, and it does not add new entries to Alarm logs.
- If the change cannot be saved, the switch returns to its previous position and a message reading "Failed to update alarm status" appears. Try again in a moment.
