Somehow I'm not getting it. The feature you're requesting is already in the product. Edit an existing entry, on the GENERAL tab you have a line called "Active/Maintenance", when you change the dropdown next to it to "maintenance" you can set until WHEN you want it to be in maintenance.
Dirk Bulinckx. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:sal...@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Heath Abbate Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 5:15 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: Re: [SA-list] feature request Exactly. Chris is on it. I would like something simple like nagios does. By default when you put a nagios check into maint mode you can check a box so it only sticks for X hrs and then automatically re-enables the check and this is a one time thing. As you mention you have scheduled maint via your calendar deal but I want one time maint settings. Ie check the box and enter a value for time in minutes to leave the check in maint mode and then auto re-enable. I would like to NOT have to come back to servers alive to re-enable the check or to remove it from always being off on Monday at 8am til 9am for example. Making more sense what we are asking for? I think this would be a great feature and would save me lots of trouble when I find a check that should have been in maint for 30 minutes has been in maint for 2 weeks because one of my guys forgot to go back and re-enable the check after completing his work. Thanks!
