Component body
Maintenance mode API notifies other modules when the site is switched into or from maintenance mode.
This means that other modules can respond to this, for example:
- Disabling Nagios alerts whilst the site is in maintenance mode
- Alerting a list of users when the site goes into or out of maintenance mode
- Configuing a reverse proxy to display a static page whilst the site is in maintenance mode
This module provides no UI in itself, and only implements one feature: adding an entry to watchdog when the site is switched to maintenance mode.
This module was created to support the varnish maintenance mode module, but I hope it will find other purposes as time goes on.
