Option to add multiple instances at once (* wildcard)

koenschrauwen

Dear Thwack users/admins,

We would like to monitor counters with a lot of instances.

Today we need to add all these counter/instance combinations along with the thresholds manually into the Solarwinds template.

This is very time consuming.

Therefore it would be very nice to have the option to add the 'All instances' (or * wildcard) feature for a certain counter.

Additionally it would nice to set a default threshold for all instances inside this wilcard counter.

Example of Performance Counter with all instances (from the Windows Performance Monitor)

Example of adding each unique counter/instance combination manully in the template.

Here is another example of 1 customer with a lot of instances of a single counter.

Adding these in, renaming them and setting the value thresholds is a lot of manual work, which should be made easier or automated somehow.
