Ability to start and stop monitors in Navigator

I would like to have the ability so specify a start and stop date/time for monitors in i Access Client Solutions. Currently the only options are start and stop.


Use Case:

Customers running monitors may only be concerned about daytime process, not the nightly bath runs, so during those processes, they would turn off the monitors and restart them once batch is finished.

    I agree this is a good RFE, but wanted to add the comment that while the originator stated "iACS" this support is for the System Monitors in Navigator for i. Having the ability to schedule the notification of System Monitors would be useful. Since the system monitor data collection is now part of Collection Services, the enhancement requested by this RFE would simply define to when the notification (Operating System Command) applies; the system monitors would always collect the data, but the notification would only be sent during the timeframe configured by the user. (Similar to the ability to configure timeframes for Message Monitors).
