Set a Check-Specific Test Window

Specifically for the Service Status Check, I'd like to have a customizable time window during which the check enters a sort of "maintenance mode" where it doesn't check for errors.
Background:
We have a VM running software with a proprietary database (healthcare industry)—here, we pause the database services and a few other services within the VM so that, in an emergency, we can restore a dormant database from the backup.

A solution for us here would be, for example:
Disable checks daily between 11:00 PM and 4:00 AM

This way, instead of putting the entire device into maintenance mode, we can continue to properly check all other parameters—excluding the “known-error-services”—and generate tickets in, for example, TANSS.

This feature might also be useful for other checks. For example, regarding the hard drive check, I know that for a Hyper-V host in combination with VEEAM, I would exclude the first half-hour of the backup—the snapshots created for VEEAM can sometimes take up several GB on the server and, in some cases, trigger an error.
