Schedules are a secondary feature to the Plans API and allow for the defining of explicit start and stop times.
Schedules allow you to control when a maintenance plan or alert filter should start and stop. By default, maintenance plans and alert filters apply to all matching alerts until deactivated.
See the Plans API for more details on adding schedules to new or existing maintenance plans and alert filters.
Schedule ID
The schedule ID will be included in the success return. This ID is needed to add the schedule to a plan or filter.
