Have the gridalarms plugin respect Maintenance Schedules like it parent plugin thold does

The gridalarms Cacti plugin was initially a fork of the thold plugin which supports the concept of a Maintenance Schedules, but this functionality was never implemented in gridalarms. We would like to see if that functionality can be added to gridalarms as well.

    We have considered this request and it is not something we are able to deliver in the future. If there is broad interest for this, it can be resubmitted in 18 months.

    For this one, was thinking overnight that currently the maintenance plugin only handles host based Maintenance Plans. The Plugin should be extendable/hookable to allow different types of plans.

    Examples would include:

    • Site Plans (everything in the site)

    • Location Plans (everything in the location could be a closet, rack, etc.)

    • Cluster Plans (all hosts in the cluster)

    • License Service Plans (the license services themselves)

    The plans that would have to be hooked for RTM include:

    • Cluster Plans - hooked by the Grid Plugin

    • License Service Plans - hooked by the License Plugin.

    The Plans that should be supported in the base Cacti Maint Plugin should be both Site and Location.
