Maintenance
===========

The 'Maintenance' application on the OpenDaylight provides the
information of the Network Elements which are set for Maintenance,
currently or in the future. User can manage devices to set the
maintenance mode so that no unnecessary alarms are created. When the
device is in Maintenace alarms are not forwarded to DCAE and when the
device maintenance is turned off the alarms will start flowing again.

'Active' field in this application shows if the Network Element is in
maintenance mode currently or not. If it is 'active' it means the
Network Element is currently undergoing maintenance, If 'not active' it
means maintenance might have been set for future or maintenance is
already completed.

Users have access to disable the Maintenance mode or change the
maintenance start and end dates at any point of time by using the
available options in actions column.
