Poller list filtering/sorting

That’s multiple ideas, i would split them in multiple posts if I were you, but in summary.

1) Sorting of Poller within the list based on the ones being modified or not
Is it so you can do individual reloads ? In latests versions you have a one click button to reload all pollers, isn’t it enough, or maybe its too long with 40+ pollers ?

2) Have the history of every modification

Like in an audit way ? Be able to see which user did what action, or just as an informative detail on the poller, i’m not sure if i understood correctly. But I would see a use to be able to see the latest modification on an asset, but unless you have many many users doing host modifications at the same time, I personally don’t see much use of this.

The filter which would let to see only poller for which configuration was changed would be very useful.
I thought about that for a long time but this idea was always rejected claiming that the one-click button is avalable.
The one-click button to reload all the pollers can stay but doesn’t seem to be as flexible as this very simple filter in the pollers configuration page. It is a very simple change to implement.

It is a very simple change to implement.

If it is so much, the code is always open source, you can make a contribution to add that feature on the page list. But jokes aside i agree that it could be usefull in some specific cases

Hello,

I thought a little bit about that and maybe better and more convenient way to handle this use case would be adding a new button “Select all pollers with conf changed”. Using this button all pollers with conf changed would be selected and then “Export configuration” button can be used.
That would be more convenient to use instead of a filter which would require usually 3 clicks:
1. Set the filter to “Display pollers with conf changed”.
2. Click “Search” button.
3. Click “Export configuration” button.

Additionally to that it would be nice also to have these 2 checkboxes automatically selected.
In 99,99% cases of using this form I have to select both of them every time.
 

Even based on that, i’m unsure of a thing. Here you especially want to reload the pollers that have been modified before. Is the reason why the fact that if you have many many pollers it takes too long or have implications ?

If not then i would say that reloading all pollers no matter if they had modifications is ok and this can be done on the quick export button.

If there is impacts on that, maybe having a change in behavior for the quick export button can be adapted to maybe only target the pollers that had modification ?

Let’s put it this way:
When using the Quick export button I don’t see any warnings (export diagnostic results) which the classic export displays back and that allows me to correct configuration if needed. The Quick export button just displays the initial message with “please wait” which then disappears and after about a minute a new pop-up is displayed saying the export and reload was complete. No verbose output with warnings (which exist because I can see them in classic export). I don’t know if the Quick export will display anything about failed exports because it never happened to us while using it (and we don’t use it very often to be honest).
With the classic export the verbosity just feels better.

So, we are sticked to the classic way of exporting changed configuration to pollers. And every time when I have to select e.g. 10 pollers (for which conf changed) out of the total 46 pollers I feel my hand just hurts when putting a tick at every small checkbox by each of those 10 pollers :) 

This is is very nice idea:
“… maybe having a change in behavior for the quick export button can be adapted to maybe only target the pollers that had modification ?” 
but I would like having an additional Quick export button dedicated for pollers that had modifications.
And of course the quick export diagnostic results should be presented somehow like the classic export does to an admin if anything bad happens during the export.
