I had issues with being able to create alerts that would trigger off of a given variable. Adding a Custom Property to all of my nodes,
and doing advanced alerts based off the contents of that Custom Property helped immensely.
Now I have an issue with user administration for access to the web-based NMS, in that I need to be limiting the majority of my user's
view, quite dramatically. Is the proper way to do that by a view by pattern? Can I use a regexp that would match on the first 5 characters
in the node name being numeric (not alphanumeric)?
Can I do a view limitation based off a custom property like I do with alerts?
I'm not quite sure how to get around to the end result, but I pretty much just need to be able to set a view
for the user(s), and not have to change 30 (soon to be more) users every time I add a node.
That's the immediate, short-term need.
On the long term side, I need API documentation, or merely documentation on how the relevant tables need to be populated
for the addition of a new node, the addition of new users, new advanced alerts. I need to be able to add nodes, users, and set
the relevant limitations as part of a flow-through from other systems.
