Orion 8.1 - Manage/Unmanged clock

Question

Hi there,

Are there any improvements coming on the managed/unamaged date/clock setting?

Example: Our ISP notifies us of global maintenance windows at the weekends between certain hours. If we decide to unmanage a node then we have to that at close of business Friday which gives us a black unmonitored window for a node/site. We would like to see the option to plan a start and end time for an unmanaged session in advance. The current model of setting when to unmanage would suit 24x7 managed helpdesks only unless you want to unamange for extended weekend periods.

Thanks
Ken

<throws bone> It'll be more of an 8.5.  Not a major overhaul, but more than a couple off juicy tidbits.

Denny, <customer gitty with anticipation> will this be a major release "9.0", or a maintenance release such as 8.2/8.5?

Uhh.... <product manager squirms>  Um, sooner than you think.  Before you know it.  Well before pigs fly.

:-)  Seriously, we're not ready to give dates yet, but months not years.
