HTTP Application Monitor name

Hi All,

Its a lovely day in the UK today and I have an HTTP application monitor, small issue.

I want to rename the HTTP monitors on this server to reflect the websites that we host on the server. I click on the radio boxes next to each of the HTTP monitors and I cannot rename them as the rename button is greyed out.

I do not want to change the Application Monitor Name just the individual monitors within as each site is different.

When I am fault finding I have to drill right down into the monitors to find out the name of the site that is down. This takes time and it would be much better if I could tell just by hovering over the app monitor itself. Instead I see...

Which is not much use unless I click into each HTTP Monitor to investigate. So I want to call them something useful, (the site name). Any ideas how I do it? Thanks in advance...

Also if I create another HTTP monitor and enter the site, from the first HTTP monitor into it and then delete the first HTTP monitor and save it. I see a permissions error but it works! So there is a bug here with the first HTTP monitor that makes it impossible to rename it unless you create new HTTP monitors and then delete the first one. Very strange, but i've fixed it and i've now renamed all my sites to something useful instead of "HTTP monitor".

Okay i've had my HTTP application monitors running for a little bit and I thought i'd go back in and have another look to see if I can rename the HTTP monitors.

The first HTTP monitor I clicked on I could not rename. (Notice RENAME greyed out).

The second HTTP monitor I can rename. Notice RENAME button is no longer greyed out.

I can click on all the other HTTP monitors and rename them except for the top one.

So if anyone can tell me, why I can't rename the top HTTP monitor then that would be much appreciated?

I've tried changing the order of the top HTTP monitor and even when its 2nd, 3rd, 4th down the list of HTTP monitors I cannot rename it. Does this look like a bug?

As you can see (RENAME button) is still greyed out for the first HTTP monitor.
