hourly_value attributes in CCM

Post by tfylling »

Are there any plans to add the new Core 4 hourly_value host and service attributes to the CCM?
These values are perfect for my notification engine. Currently I'm using host groups and service groups to determine importance and notification strategy, but it creates a confusing mess in the configuration, and leaves me feeling slightly dirty.
Importing a host config with the value set obviously just strips it, but I have been able to use a static config to test that the macros are exported just fine.

Plans? I can't say, that's up to the developers. What I can say is that I have brought this up in the past and think it's a great idea (we should have 100% compatibility with Core settings anyway). I was able to add these in as custom variables and they wrote out just fine, so you might be able to use that until actual fields are added.
