🔖 Feature description

I would like to get a new webhook that can be used to pause or resume a service. The hook could look like this:

https://demo.uptime.kuma.pet:27256/api/pause/umNTllgstG
https://demo.uptime.kuma.pet:27256/api/resume/umNTllgstG

We have servers that get updated every night. It would be nice if the update script could pause kuma before shutting the server down to prevent false reports.

#191 asks for scheduled maintenance pauses, which is a great suggestion but wouldn't help us because the updates happen at random times.

✔️ Solution

A webhook to pause and resume a service.

If an API will be requested… I will add that it shoud be able to create alerts on status pages and activate a maintenance mode.

For push type monitors you can already fail a service with the API, even with a message.

There is an API? I didn't find anything on the Wiki nor Doc page…
