I could not find related issues.

🛡️ Security Policy

📝 Description

I have a group that contains monitors for virtual machines.

  • I pause the whole group
  • Kill all virtual machines for updates
  • Uptime kuma starts sending alerts that the individual VMs are down
  • Group appears paused, but not the individual VMs under that group

👟 Reproduction steps

  • Pause a group
  • Kill the systems under the group
  • See that uptime kuma complains about the killed systems

👀 Expected behavior

I expect all monitors under the group to be paused as well.

😓 Actual Behavior

Alerts about killed VMs.

Research direction
Understand the group pause logic in the Uptime Kuma codebase. Look at files like src/monitor.js and src/group.js to see how pausing a group is implemented. The issue expects that pausing a group should recursively pause all child monitors. Investigate the current behavior and modify the group pause action to propagate the pause state to all monitors within the group. Check existing tests or create a simple test case to verify the fix.
