+  Provides a Datadog downtime resource. This can be used to create and manage downtimes.
+---
+
+# datadog\_downtime
+
+Provides a Datadog downtime resource. This can be used to create and manage Datadog downtimes.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+# Create a new daily 1700-0900 Datadog downtime
+resource "datadog_downtime" "foo" {
+  scope = ["*"]
+  start = 1483308000
+  end   = 1483365600
+
+  recurrence {
+    type   = "days"
+    period = 1
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `scope` - (Required) A list of items to apply the downtime to, e.g. host:X
+* `start` - (Optional) POSIX timestamp to start the downtime.
+* `end` - (Optional) POSIX timestamp to end the downtime.
+* `recurrence` - (Optional) A dictionary to configure the downtime to be recurring.
+    * `type` - days, weeks, months, or years
+    * `period` - How often to repeat as an integer. For example to repeat every 3 days, select a type of days and a period of 3.
+    * `week_days` - (Optional) A list of week days to repeat on. Choose from: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat or Sun. Only applicable when type is weeks. First letter must be capitalized.
+    * `until_occurrences` - (Optional) How many times the downtime will be rescheduled. `until_occurrences` and `until_date` are mutually exclusive.
+    * `until_date` - (Optional) The date at which the recurrence should end as a POSIX timestamp. `until_occurrences` and `until_date` are mutually exclusive.
+* `message` - (Optional) A message to include with notifications for this downtime.
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+The following attributes are exported:
+
+* `id` - ID of the Datadog downtime
+
+## Import
+
+Downtimes can be imported using their numeric ID, e.g.
+
+```
+$ terraform import datadog_downtime.bytes_received_localhost 2081
+```
