What would be the right way to run the same check with different threshold during the different time periods?

Say we know that some check 'normal' from 4 AM to 11 PM is one set of thresholds, while 11 PM to 4 AM it performs a lot slower due to backups over the network. How to configure multiple set of checks to run over the template during the certain time only and cloned set with different thresholds during all other times?

This is not currently possible without setting up multiple services or writing a wrapper script to adjust the thresholds based on the check time (or modify the plugin to change it).

I can submit a feature request on your behalf if you'd like. Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion of our development team.

Please do: this should be beneficial to the product:

24x7 checks should be flexible for Datacenters and remote connections (in our case, we do have slowdowns because of the large amount of backups happening during the same timeframe)

Thank you, and another one to Eric L. for the honest answer

No problem. I just read his response.
