Custom time range to schedule an instana alert

Custom scheduling of alerting is not available - like volume monitoring alerts to be scheduled only for week days, this will be useful to schedule the alerts only for the required time and ignore false alerts

    Triggering conditions should be fine-tuned as such, that issues are not triggered when there isn't an issue occuring. Alternatively if alerts in the weekends are not important, than recurring maintenance windows can be configured to suppress notifications in those timeframes.

    Adding custom timeframes to the alert configuration is not under consideration at this time.
