You can still make changes using find/replace in a text editor though if not running beta. Making the obvious backup of oringial config first :)
Only downside is you do need to restart the app or services as you then don't have direct access to the service / apps as config is cached internally. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: 26 March 2007 11:56 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] GUI make-over 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) Dirk Bulinckx. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Davis Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 12:46 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] GUI make-over 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?

Now, if we had a credentials manager.... :-) this wouldn't be such a daunting task. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tobie Fysh Sent: 26 March 2007 11:01 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] GUI make-over 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 -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Davis Sent: 26 March 2007 10:46 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] GUI make-over 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.

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 Dirk Bulinckx. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Davis Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 10:26 AM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] GUI make-over 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.

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 :-) Dirk Bulinckx.
