Still a very important topic. It is very hard to add a lot of nodes into schedules outage config.

I usually don't have time and motivation to add every single node... Even when I get alarms in case of scheduled outages.

I added a couple of enhancements to the Scheduled Outages page that should make things a little bit easier when selecting nodes.

In the nodelabel search box, you can now prefix the search string with a couple of special symbols to alter the search behavior:

'@' will let you search for surveillance categories
'#' Will search for nodes who are in the specified surveillance category
'$' will let you search for requisition names
'%' will search for nodes in a requisition that starts with the search string.

There was a suggestion to use a visualsearch javascript enhancement to the search box. (http://documentcloud.github.io/visualsearch/), instead of using special characters sequences.

I think a good second step would be working out a better method for getting the list of categories or requisition names. Creating the lists based on the values obtained from the nodes returned via getAllNodes() seems to be a waste of cpu/memory.

https://opennms.atlassian.net/browse/NMS-5762#icft=NMS-5762 also appears to be a duplicate of this issue.

OpenNMS Support ticket #2286. Adding my vote. Thanks.
