Has anyone considered adding a Scheduled downtime function to mon.

Invariably, when doing planned maintenance, I forget to.
Log into mon and disable what I'm working on before the alerts start flying.
Log into mon and re-enable what I was working on, so the alerts will fly.

Don't we all :)


I'm currently planning to implement this as a second process that
continuously reads a flat csv file containing what,when,how long\n.
Then issues the appropriate disable or enable commands to the mon server.
Would implementing such functionality in the mon server itself be more
efficient?

Absolutely yes, IMHO it is the only place to add such a function, since it is the governing process.
