When I am in the first screen of the adding a new node process I would like to see a "test connectivity" button. When this button is clicked it will pop up a window with all of the different connectivity types that it can test to the node; ping, WMI, SNMP, VMWare, SolarWinds Agent Port, etc, etc. When it goes through the test it should show a little green check box next to each connectivity type that succeeds. This will help verify what bits are working and which aren't, and which ones are possible when adding a node.
I am certainly open to thoughts and feedback on this idea, thanks!
