Title: Check parameters can now be bound to timeperiods
Component: WATO
Level: 1
Class: New feature
Version: 1.5.0i1
All parameters for discovered services, as well as manual checks, can now be assigned to
specific timeperiods.
This makes it quite easy to configure exceptions, for example, when a data backup is
running.
Each eligible WATO rule offers a button <i>Enable timespecific parameters</i>,
which switches the rule into the timespecific mode.
In this mode you can configure a list of timeperiods and the related check parameters.
You can also configure a default check parameter, in case none of given the timeperiods
matches.
The information, whether a timeperiod is active or not, is taken from the core during the
check execution.
When the core is down/unreachable, the fall default check parameter will be used.
If a configured timeperiod name is not known, the default parameter will be used, too.
