Hey Lennart,

Two example scenarios:

1) I'm monitoring a job that runs at 8AM. It finishes anywhere between 
8:10-8:15AM. I'm using nxlog (parsing a custom log file) and sending to 
graylog to verify/alert if the job has failed. It's inefficient to have 
that stream active for the entire day (wasting CPU resources) when it's 
only required during an estimated window of time.

2) I monitor database backups with graylog (success messages). A script 
queries elasticsearch every 10 minutes to see if the backup completed 
successfully. Once it has been confirmed that the backup completed, 
immediately start compressing the backup for off-site storage (this 
eliminates needing to schedule compression jobs). The backup completion 
window is a ~two hour range at most.

I realize there are better solutions for each of these scenarios, but 
centrally managing all alerts is a wonderful thing. Having a schedule for 
specific streams could be useful in many different scenarios. 

Thanks!
Zi
