@alien999999999 ,

please check #543

[alien999999999]

oh, it's a not a bug, it's a (missing) feature :-)

I see it's been worked on fairly recently, which is great; but i see some merge conflicts...

Any idea when they would be ready? is there any way for me to try and use this manually?

[robin-checkmk]

I am going to close this issue, as msekania already pointed to a corresponding pull request. Let's continue the discussion there.
