We have clients who have planned maintenance on specific locations requiring SDT. This should be easy, but in fact is not at all easy and in fact is very error prone due to the level of manual eff...
Any thoughts on this? I really hate telling clients stuff like... "ok, here's what you do -- first navigate to resources and add SDT for all your hosts at the site. now, also go to the firewall external check and maybe website external checks and add SDT there. and also go the internal cross-site ping checks and add SDT there. oh yeah and you also need to add SDT to the collector" and such. Very clunky and error-prone. I should be able to setup an SDT group spanning all monitoring types representing a logical unit (like a site) and tell then to just set SDT for that logical unit. Again, constantly having to perform manual tasks like this creates pain and opportunities for error -- please make the computer do the job it excels at for us.
