Title: Improved timeperiod management
Component: WATO
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.6.0i1
The timeperiod management pages have been improved ins several ways:
<ul>
<li>Timeperiods can now be cloned.</li>
<li>Configuring equal times for all weekdays is now easier. Instead of setting
the same time ranges for each weekday it is now possible to select "Same times for all week days".</li>
<li>Timeperiods listed in the excludes list are now sorted.</li>
<li>The number of time ranges per day is now flexible. The dialog starts with
a single time range. You may click on "add time range" to add more.</li>
<li>Improved validations of input values.</li>
<li>The builtin timeperiod 24X7 is now always visible. The implicit existance
of this timeperiod confused users.</li>
</ul>

Title: Timespecific check parameters: Changed computation algorithm to allow more flexible configurations
Component: WATO
Level: 2
Class: New feature
Version: 1.6.0i1
Werk #4840 introduced timespecific parameters, which allowed timedependant check parameter
configuration through timeperiods. Customer feedback has shown that these configuration were
not flexible enough. Thats why we've changed the computation algorithm.
The new algorithm only affects dictionary based check parameters, tuple based check parameters remain unchanged.
H3:Ruleset example old configuration (deprecated with this werk)
<ul>
<li>Use parameters {"warn": 90} on saturday, default {"warn": 75, "crit": 80}</li>
<li>Use parameters {"warn": 85, "crit": 92"} on weekend, default {"warn": 70, "crit": 75, "bandwidth": 1000}</li>
<li>Use parameters {"check_mode": "auto"} (no timespecific rule)</li>
</ul>
The old mechanism created the following parameters
<ul>
<li>Monday till Friday: {"warn": 75, "crit": 80"}</li>
<li>Saturday: {"warn": 90}</li>
<li>Sunday: {"warn": 75, "crit": 80}</li>
</ul>
As you can see, only the parameters from the first rule were taken into account.

<li>Use parameters {"warn": 85, "crit": 92"} on weekend, default {"warn": 70, "crit": 75, "bandwidth": 1000}</li>
<li>Use parameters {"check_mode": "auto"} (no timespecific rule)</li>
</ul>
The new mechanism now creates the following parameters
<ul>
<li>Monday till Friday: {"warn": 75, "crit": 80", "check_mode": "auto"}</li>
<li>Saturday: {"warn": 90, "crit": 80, "bandwith": 1000, "check_mode": "auto"}</li>
<li>Sunday: {"warn": 85, "crit": 92, "bandwith": 1000, "check_mode": "auto"}</li>
</ul>
As you can see, only the parameters from the first rule were taken into account.
The rule evaluation now starts at the bottom rule and then progresses to the top rule.
For each rule, first of all the default parameters are applied. Afterwards the timespecific
component(s) are applied. If a single rule have more than one timespecific parameter,
these parameters are merged, too.
For example:
<ul>
<li>Use parameters {"warn": 75, "crit": 80, "check_mode": "auto"} on Saturday 10-14h, Use parameters {"special_parameter": True} on Saturday 12-14h</li>
<li>Use parameters {"warn": 85, "crit": 92"} on weekend, default {"warn": 70, "crit": 75, "bandwidth": 1000}</li>
<li>Use parameters {"check_mode": "auto"} (no timespecific rule)</li>
</ul>
Result
<ul>
<li>Saturday 11:00: {"warn": 75, "crit": 80, "bandwidth": 1000, "check_mode": "auto"}</li>
<li>Saturday 13:00: {"warn": 75, "crit": 80, "bandwidth": 1000, "check_mode": "auto", "special_parameter": True}</li>
</ul>
