# Snooze

Snooze in Google Cloud Monitoring is a temporary suppression of alert notifications for specific alert policies. It allows you to pause alerts during known maintenance windows or expected system changes without disabling the underlying policy. Snoozes help reduce noise while maintaining full monitoring and alerting behavior once the snooze period ends.

```
gcp.monitoring_snooze
```
