re-occurring maintenance window

It appears the only way to set maintenance windows (to suppress alerts) is to setup a maintenance window but it only allows specific dates and times. Our maintenance windows are set by day of week and time (regardless of specific date). For example, we have a prod maint window every sunday from 1am to 7am. there does not seem to be a way to set that without setting for every sunday of the year. If that was our only maint window it might be okay (but would still require 52 entries),but we have many others. We have one maint window for our user acceptance env as M-sat, 11pm to 5:30am. that would be another 300+ entries. and we have addl maint windows as well. and we would need to enter all of these every year. We need the ability to set them by day of week, REGARDLESS of date.

    I am working on ITM2Instana migration tool development. I'd need this capability on Instana as it is available on ITM and other APMs at the moment.
