It would be nice to have a date() function which could be used for services. The function should support multiple formats, like 'date' on linux.

This is an example on how it may look:

object Service "logfile" {
      import "generic-service"
  display_name = "logfile"
  host_name = "herp.derp.com"
    vars.logfiles_logfile = {{ "/var/log/logfile-" + Date.format("%Y-%m-%d") }}
    check_command = "check_logfiles"
}

• Subject changed from Date function to Date object
• Target Version set to Backlog

We should provide a Date object to format dates and output them via config calls.

Output should be provided via functions, not macros :)

It would also be nice to have the possibility to compare dates like in this use case.

I want create an internal check to notify someone if a date set as customvariable is reached. This necessary for a tool handling certificates requiring to be renewed every year as a black box.

This would require a function for the date object to get "now" and some comparison operators.
