Feature Wishlist

I'm migrating over from another monitoring app.
While I'm gaining features I'm also loosing some, ones that I miss already.

• Groups
• Tags
• Customisable retry duration
• Additional monitors e.g. HTTP keyword, Docker
• Maintenance features
• Operation page features

Groups, self explanatory, allows for bundling monitors into groups for management and organisation.
You can then target groups instead of each individual monitor.

Tags, allows setting a tag usually to identify what it's for or association with another app or service.
For example, public, web, docker etc.
The tag just has meaning to you but also optionally shows on the operations page.

Customisable retry duration, allow for setting a custom value like the check interval.
For example, monitor checks every 5 minutes but fails first check, you might not want to wait 5 minutes for the next check.
This strikes a balance of not over checking but when there's a failure check more frequently to confirm if offline.

Additional monitors, HTTP keyword allows searching for a value in the HTML response.
Filter by HTML codes, and yes or no to ignore SSL warning.
I know docker monitoring is supported but this would be nice if the docker container could do it natively.

Maintenance features, quite a few suggestions here.
Allow setting a date without a time, sometimes it isn't known.
Allow affected services to populate with a list of your monitors, also the option to select groups.
Notifications like the monitors, that is the ability to have multiple notification channels assigned.
Option to show maintenance windows on the operations page, select one or more.
Allow pausing a maintenance schedule.
Allow non scheduled windows, remains in upcoming until manually set to in progress etc.

Operation page features, mainly layout but some feature ideas.
The page density is way too low, all it takes is 2 monitors and your now scrolling the page.
Would recommend cutting the graphics and text a lot to save space, maybe full page with double row for monitors?
Lots of directions to take, 1 page and make it really dense or multiple pages with clicks.
Allow reordering the monitors and removing monitors without closing the edit window.

Forgot to add maintenance schedules for backups. My previous monitor allowed for repeating backup schedules to suppress alerts and reporting. I've now got to suppress the notifications because you'd have to make a daily maintenance schedule per day.
