Improve Recurring downtimes with option to use Time Periods, just startif a host go down ...
Recurring downtimes Host/Services require extended configuration options:
1. use of time periods
- e.g. every 4th Sunday of the month or every 3. Sunday of the month
2. Only start downtime if host/service goes DOWN/UNREACH during the defined start and end time (flexible)
3. child host can also be automatically set to downtime
Alternative would also be that "sheduled downtimes" can be set with rules with the Option for using time periods

Mohamed Saleh AdminHi Bernd,
Thanks for posting on our Ideas Portal!
I've linked a few ideas that tackle individual points covered in your idea description.
Could you add a bit of detail to clarify (potentially with an example) the the last alternative, and what is the difference from point 1 (time periods)?
Warm regards! -

Bernd HolzhauerHi Mohamed,
in my case i have recurring downtimes each 3. Sunday and each 4. Sunday of the month so Option to use it for recurring weekly, monthly, each x day oft the chosen Periode from the beginning or end of Month would be nice and covers nearly all usecases.
Each Company has a Patch day for the half part of the Equipment and a 2. for for the Rest. and not all Systems needs reboot or something like this that`s why also the option to start the Downtime just if the system / Service is changing state
What is the best Option ????? " recurring downtimes" like descripted or "scheduled downtimes" with the Option to use "Tim periods"
and what is easier to Implantat ???? perhaps it`s Time to drop one one the Option`s and create a single option who covers all time Handling and sheduled Handlings ?

Bernd HolzhauerI trigger for the Moment the API via Bash and cron
0 5-8 * * 0 [ "$(date +\%d)" -ge 22 -a "$(date +\%d)" -le 28 ] && /scripts/bash/downtime_set_level0.sh
0 5-8 * * 5 [ "$(date +\%d)" -ge 15 -a "$(date +\%d)" -le 21 ] && /scripts/bash/downtime_set_level2.sh
