Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This kind of feature was already requested by another user in the community forum 2 years ago: https://community.icinga.com/t/notification-on-downtimecreated-event/4448/8
For planned maintanance, it would be very helpful to send a Notification before the maintenance starts, so the stakeholder will be informed in advance.

Describe the solution you'd like

A new Notification Type Filter called DowntimeCreated beside the already available Filter DowntimeStart, DowntimeEnd and DowntimeRemoved

Thanks and cheers,
Marcus

Research direction

Start with the requested DowntimeCreated notification filter and review the linked community forum discussion for context. Locate the existing DowntimeStart, DowntimeEnd, and DowntimeRemoved filter implementations and their tests; done means the new filter can notify stakeholders when planned downtime is created and the relevant tests pass.
