DCI for maintenance mode

[Toepfe]

Hi all,

I wonder if it is possible to configure a DCI which checks if the node is in maintenance mode. I'd like to show such nodes in a special colour at the Status Map. I've tried it with the internal "Status" check, but this doesn't get a different value in such a case.

At the moment it seems to me the only way to check this is the the manual look at Overview - Status "Normal (maintenance)" - at the Object Details. So it may happen, that someone switches the node manually to maintenance mode and forget to switch it back after the work is done.

Any ideas?

Putting a node in maintenance mode already creates an event, simply handle that event in EPP and create an alarm if you wish.

This will actually be done automatically in future versions, see bugtracker ticket #983 for more details.
