+
+## Alerting time window
+
+In some applications, load and activity can vary over the day/week/year.
+
+In order to prevent alarm fatigue and busy pager, alerts can be disabled during a period of time (such as night or weekend).
+
+Example:
+
+- Weekday: `node_load5 > 10 and ON() (0 < day_of_week() < 6)`
+- Day time: `node_load5 > 10 and ON() (8 < hour() < 18)`
+- Exclude December: `node_load5 > 10 and ON() (month() != 12)`
+
+## Advanced time windows and timezones
+
+```yml
+# rules.yml
