Hi, I hope this is the right place (icinga1 had a single tracker for docs).

We discussed in IRC that it might be helpful to add some information on the 'range' function to the icinga2 docs. This is a very cool function because you can save writing while looping over 'a range of numbers', e.g. doing things like:

for (port in range(1, 48)) {
    vars.iftraffic64_interface["Port " + port ] = {
      iftraffic64_interface = port
      iftraffic64_units = "g"
      iftraffic64_bandwidth = 1
    }
}

So you come up with one single rule for 48 different ports ... very useful.

If you type 'range' in docs.icinga.org you basically find 'ranges' of timeperiods only. The one place I could find at least some info on 'range' was hidden in a very fresh and advanced article by dnsmichi found here: https://www.icinga.org/category/technical/icinga-2/
