> ### Disabling alerts

> Sometimes you might want to disable alerts, such as when you know your database is going to be unavailable due to a dump and load or another procedure.

> There are three ways to disable alerts to prevent Fathom from generating alerts:

> - Disable alerts in a monitoring plan. This method allows polling of your resources to continue.
> - Disable an individual resource. This method does not allow your resource to be polled.
> - Disable all alerts (that is, polled, asynchronous, and internal alerts) on the Fathom Resource Monitoring Configuration page.
