SDT "groups" | Feature Requests | LogicMonitor Community

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 effort required to think through what all is impacted by a "site" outage. Each different element requires a different approach to setting downtime. For example, we recently had a location maintenance notice and had to think through all of the following: * resources at the location (reasonably easy due to using location-based device groups, even though using those completely breaks the RBAC security model) * websites used to monitor that location (internal and external) * collectors at the location * we are not using the new service feature yet at this client, but that would be yet another SDT requirement It would be far simpler and less error-prone if all of these could be scheduled for downtime at one time based on the fact that they are impacted by the location maintenance. I was thinking one option would be an SDT group that could contain all element types, then that group could easily be scheduled in one fell swoop.
