Add Holiday Schedule?

It would be a "nice to have" to be able to set a holiday schedule for our clients so that pre-stage host rules wouldn't apply on holidays.

Hi Dave. Thanks for sharing. Similar requests have come up before. I will be happy to give this some priority. To make sure we're building this the right way, can you please share some more details on how you would like this to work? Which settings would you like to override during holidays? How would you like the scheduling to work?

I'll combine your input with other feedback we collected.

Thanks, Gido!

I was thinking of adding a check box to the Pre-Stage Hosts section for Use Holiday Schedule.
With that box checked the Hosts to be active by start of work hours would be ignored or set to 0 for the day. The Set all hosts to running OS disk type would still be enabled just in case someone logs-on during the holiday to work (there's always a few workaholics who do... 😜), they would still get the SSD experience if Start VM on Connect is enabled.

I made a crude drawing of how it would work. Normally, 6 hosts would be available at the start of the shift. But, if it's a holiday (on a Table with Holiday/Closure dates entered), the Nerdio logic would read it as 0 hosts that need to be available. On a non-holiday day, it would function like normal.

As far as the Holiday Table goes, it would be another "nice to have" to be able to import major holidays for a given country or set a holiday as recurring. But obviously those features could definitely be a v2 or v3 revision. 🙂
