Randomized batch evaluation time offset via Splay property

We have a bunch of alerts that get evaluated every X, where X is a multiple of 1 minute (could be as large as 24 hours). Looks like kapacitor always evaluates the batch at the XX:XX:00.000 mark, causing many alerts to be evaluated simultaneously at the minute mark followed by a long period of nothing. "Rounder" time intervals suffer more, e.g. at midnight every single alert is evaluated.
This is not currently a problem but it in the interests of load balancing it would be great to have a way to randomly offset the initial start time of some alert that runs every X minutes by a value Y where Y := random(0-1.0) \* X, so that alerts would be evaluated at time Y, X+Y, 2X+Y, etc.
This way the read load against the database would be more smoothly distributed.

Is this currently possible?

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating Kapacitor's batch evaluation scheduler and its interval handling. Determine whether a configurable randomized initial offset can be supported, then verify the resulting X+Y schedule and document or test the behavior.
