* * One thing that I would love to see is the ability to define an entry only once (read “template”, i.e., to see if a specific service is running, like antivirus, or NNTP or abc...) and then allow me to apply (drag and drop????) it to either a group or a set of hosts and have it automatically make itself a dependency of all hosts in a group that have no other dependencies themselves. and by that same token, I would love the ability to be able and put that single templated check in maintenance only once and have it apply to all instances of it distributed throughout all my hosts

The ability to greatly streamline the management of alerts by minimizing the places they are configured and allowing their "reuse". (still trying to push my idea through....)

With each new release you provide additional functionality that allows us to start scanning more and more devices/services/conditions than ever before. BUT, now that we have all these options we tend to use them and this leads to issues of management. May I humbly suggest that, if not already there, you have mass device update/change management on the roadmap for future SA versions. This way, as we (crazy and creative users) find new ways of scanning many, many more (new and exciting) endpoints that there are some tools that allow us to easily change those properties efficiently. Thanks in advance. ... your humble, and happy SA user, Mark Mark Seniow - mark at smsolutions dot com S.M. Internet Solutions Inc.
