Almost exclusively, our team uses poller settings with checkboxed “Move Export Files”, “Restart Monitoring Engine” turned On as shown below:
I’m not sure about other people’s needs, but the setting shown is so common during our daily operations, and especially when exports are very frequent - that is, when things don’t work as expected and Configuration File Export becomes a debugging tool - it is quite rare for us to use these checkboxes in a different setting.
This proposal suggests implementing configuration settings for default states of the following UI elements:
- Checkboxes
- Monitoring Engine restart method
- and eventually, Post generation command,
to improve the UX and make frequent daily exports as smooth as possible.
Cumulatively in operations, this change would save a a lot of time and friction when services don’t work as expected and need more time to fix, while this page becomes an unnecessary mental burden in the process. Currently, in order to save us thousands of daily mouse point-and-clicks at these boxes, after each minor update we manually patch the web page to default as show above, for the sake of preserving sanity.
Thank you!
