Two Questions about 8.5

I have not yet upgraded (waiting for 8.5.1) but I keep being asked some questions that I have not yet read the answers to.

My first question is about the Unmanage feature. Is this possible to be scheduled in the latest release? For example, I can unmanage a node every day for 12:00 to 12:30 for a scheduled reboot. We have servers that reboot daily and our tech support people want to be able to schedule their downtime on a recurring basis.

My second question is about the alert engine. Was the feature added/will the feature be added to escalate the alert based on other variables besides time? Right now I have disk alerts setup to alert when the disk hits 90% and repeat every 15 minutes. However, this isnt optimal for all servers. It would be very helpful to be able to alert at a threshold, like 70% and repeat the alert for every 5% of growth. Or possibly set to alert at a specific GB free threshold and alert again when 50GB less is free.

No. You can't schedule recurrence.

This is not in 8.5. It's not something I've been asked for before, but I'll add it to the list.
