Start time for Nagios downtime

Hello!

I’m looking at documentation for the Nagios module. How does one specify when downtime is supposed to start? I don’t see any way to provide that, just the duration of the outage (which presumably starts “now”?).

My use case is i have a role that applies Linux updates on servers and if there was a kernel update, schedules a reboot during maintenance hours. I want to configure downtime in Nagios to coincide with the reboot schedule.

Seems this feature just didn’t exist yet. I’ve added it and submitted a pull request:
