Configurable Thresholds Based on Time
The alerts would be more useful if we could apply maintenance or quiet periods to them.
I understand we have the maintenance window and that is perfect for things like planned downtime, index maintenance etc.

However, the issue I currently face is that I suppress the processor under utilised message. Like a prolonged spike in CPU activity, a massive drop off could be a concern too. However, I have a current mean of 18.6% on one example server. I can set a threshold of 15% as an example, but this would trigger alerts through the night when typically from 1am to 6am there is no load on the server. using the "For longer than ... seconds" box is not really useful if I am checking the CPU over a 6 hour period as I could miss issues during the business day.
In my mind, it would be great if I could set the alert to trigger when we are below 15% but only during X and Y time.

We have maintenance jobs once a week that utilizes CPU to up to 100%. I would like to be able to exclude those timeslots in the PROCESSOR UTILIZATION ALERT or be able to set a different threshold based on time

Another example: I want to be paged for offline databases but I have operational databases that can go offline and wait to page me until business hours.
