Feature Request: Scheduled Pause / Automatic Resume for Checks
Hi,
I'd like to request the ability to pause a CheckCentral check for a defined period, with it automatically resuming at a specified date and time.
A common example for us is monitoring workstation backups. If a customer goes on holiday for a week and their PC is switched off, the check will naturally become overdue even though there isn't actually a problem.
At the moment I can manually pause the check, which solves the false alert, but I then have to remember to manually resume it when the customer returns.
It would be really useful if the Pause option included something like:
Pause until:
[Date] [Time]
Reason:
Customer on holiday
The check would remain paused until that date/time and then automatically resume its normal monitoring schedule.
Ideally there could also be options such as:
- Pause indefinitely
- Pause until a specified date/time
- Resume manually
For MSPs managing a large number of checks, I think this would be particularly useful. The risk with manually pausing checks is that somebody forgets to resume one, potentially leaving an important backup unmonitored.
Thanks!
We have this open on our feature request list, so I've added your vote to it :)
Thanks!
