Add INCLUDE option to timeperiod configuration, not just exclude

15 votes

When configuring timeperiods, you currently can only EXCLUDE other timeperiods, for example to exclude national holidays from a work hour timeperiod. But often it would be required to INCLUDE other timeperiods, for example to include the national holidays, that were imported from an ical file, into an oncall timeperiod that alerts outside of office hours and on holidays. Please add an INCLUDE option to timeperiods, so people don't have to manually edit timeperiods.mk to do this!

You can achieve that by defining your working hours as a timeperiod that excludes the holidays and then exclude the working hours in your oncall timeperiod which is otherwise 24/7.
