NeophyteNeophyteStuart you are an on-point power user in a way that I cannot be 😀
All of your suggestions are available now to ID those that are deprecated but what would really make things better is the second part of my ideas -->an (unambiguous/unequivocal/stupid simple easy button) indicator to ensure the 1:1 relationship between the deprecated version and the version that replaces it, to lead me to selecting the right replacement. I can filter My Toolbox for Deprecated, but I can't remember seeing any one of them cite the replacement. I recently had a situation where I disabled alerting for a deprecated VMware datasource and installed what I thought was the correct replacement. Turns out I was not paying close enough attention in my replacement selection off of the table in the Release Notes: I did not install the correct replacement so for a time we had no alerting. Thankfully we noticed (just barely) before the lack of alerts caused a real problem.

haha, thanks. Just means that we are both experiencing the same issues. It was honestly embarrassingly simple to build that stuff. The only problem was that it used undocumented/unsupported endpoints that eventually stopped working as the toolbox started taking precedence. LM should have built it out of the box.

Yes, the idea about linking the deprecated version to the new version would be awesome. FWIW: we haven't updated vmware monitoring nor meraki monitoring in almost a year. Still waiting on answers and answers from LM for the VMware stuff.
