SDT interface changes
SDT management and entry is very time-consuming. As a new user, I just spent a few hours setting SDT for our servers (around 100) and in our previous monitoring system this would have taken about 1...
Hi Steve, rnI exaggerated about it taking me a few hours, but it felt like it. I like the cascading SDT feature very much where I can apply SDT by groups and have servers in multiple groups and thus have aggregated SDTs - its really useful. The reason it took me so long is (1) we intended to tune SDT for each server by its network, role and its boot order. The lack of visibility of the aggregate SDT made me give up on that and do a more one-size-fits-all approach and (2) the form often would not save my numbers and instead saved it as an all day outage (using Chrome on Win8.1). RE (1): I may be missing something, but the only way to determine the SDT on a particular server is to right click it, choose SDT and then click the tab to see SDTs affecting this object.
