In the "changes wizard" you can select to make to change on
* all entries
* all entries of checktype <checktype>
* all entries that are member of group <groupname>
* all entries were server name is <name> (<- added after the
release of v6 I think, so that is within the beta only)

Doesn't this just blanket change username and/or password? I have a mix of
different credentials for different networks. Will they all get reset or can I
choose which checks to apply them too?

With the "changes wizard" you can update the username/password/authentication.

Fair point - 80% of my checks are domain servers though and this would require
me adding credentials to at least another 200 checks.
Now, if we had a credentials manager.... :-) this wouldn't be such a daunting
task.

Steve,
Sorry mate but you are wrong, run as local service with desktop integration and
supply credentials for each check, we do it, have a dedicated account for SA to
use so you can audit logons and all works fine.
Kindest regards
Tobie

Dirk,
1) You cannot run the service with desktop interaction unless it runs as
localservice. If it runs as localservice it cannot authenticate with any other
windows servers. To be able to autheniticate with other Windows servers, the
service needs to log in with a local or domain account and then you lose the
ability to interact with the desktop. This has always been an issue.
You asked for input on improving the GUI, you clearly accept that the GUI has
room for improvement. The GUI is basic but it's functional and IMHO a web
interface is the way to go forward. It's very idealistic to think you can just
change the GUI and not touch any functionality. If you try and do this I can't
see you offering anything useful to us, your customers.
You asked for ideas and I gave them, there's no need for curt responses.
Just remember we're paying good money for your product and politeness goes a
long way.
Steve

1. The GUI IS the service or IS the app, so it's interacting directly.
If you run the service as system account with desktop interaction and call the
gui via the system-tray icon then you're working directly on the service.
2. That's not a gui change that's a totally new feature
3. That's not a gui change that's a totally new feature
4. That's not a gui change that's a totally new feature

1) My biggest bugbear with the GUI is the fact you can't interact directly with
the service. If running as a service I'd like to be able to go in and make
changes but I have to stop the service, fire it up as an APP, make changes, shut
down app, restart service.
2) Make if fully manageable via a web interface, including full functionality.
See the web interface for IPMonitor for a nice interface.
3) It needs to be easier to make global changes. This has been partially
addressed but can go a bit further. I would suggest keeping a separate
credentials manager and then you pick the credentials to use in each check. That
way when the details change or a password expires you only have to change it
once.
4) Network discovery. Provide an option in the GUI to scan a network/subnet and
come back with everything it finds, you can then decide what to add into your
monitoring.

Servers Alive exists since some time :-) The GUI didn't change a lot since day
1.
We think it's time for some change.
The change should be "just" a GUI change not adding features/functionality.
If you have some good ideas or have some examples that we could use (as idea),
well then just send them over :-)
