Description

Problem

Sometimes servers are temporarily offline during upgrades and installations of new routing edtions.

When these known planned maintenance events occur the SMS should avoid sending notifications.

Proposal

Add detection of the 503 (Service unavailable) header in the tests code.
The failure can then be ignored for specific (end-point) servers but still be sent when the original target was a load balancer.

Research direction

Start by locating the monitoring tests code and the logic that sends SMS notifications for server failures. Trace how endpoint servers and load balancers are distinguished, then verify how a 503 response should be handled in each case. Done means planned-maintenance 503 failures are ignored for endpoint servers but still notified for the original load balancer target.
