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...
Given: what I'm about to say below doesn't build this feature into the GUI. I've heard rumors that after the UIv4 refresh, websites and services will all live in the tree together with other resources, making it possible to do SDT for the whole group in two steps (collector object sdt would still be an additional step).
Something like this: https://github.com/sweenig/lm_scripted_control yeah? Currently this is being used by a customer by their change management system to automatically put device into and take devices out of SDT. Their thought was the system controlling their change tickets should be the one in control of SDT. So, they use these scripts, called from their CM system. Wouldn't appear to be too difficult to add in website and collector SDT into the scripts (feel free to fork and submit a pull request).
