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!
