Write an eventbroker module. It's not so hard, and since you're only
filling a very specific need with one or more very specific times you
shouldn't run into many problems. Object iteration is done more or
less the same in Nagios 4 as it's done in Nagios 3 btw, so you won't
run into huge issues if/when you decide to migrate.
