In Development

Features that are currently in development, and will be released soon:
Peoplegroups
"peoplegroups", which can be disabled in the same manner as hosts. Peoplegroups are expanded and sent to alerts. Now when someone goes on vacation, alerts to them can be temporarily disabled.

On-call schedules
Support for sending an alert to people based on one or more "on-call" schedules.

New Disabling Behavior
A re-vamped host/watch/service/people disabling mechanism. It allows for storing a text message when something is disabled, so that upon later queries it will be obvious why something was disabled. Great for communication amongst operations staff, in addition to communication to the user via the WWW interface.

Better logging
Better logging which does not use syslog. Logs are stored in a special log directory, in an easy-to-parse . Both failures and successes can be logged. Output produced by monitors when they succeed is stored, optionally logged, and is queriable via moncmd.

Downtime Tracking
The appropriate data is kept to find out how long a service was down. This is good if you are interested in those metrics. We are.
