SAM - Process Monitor component

All,

While building a new app monitor I came to realize there are 2 different "Process monitor components" you can use for Windows vs everything else. In the Windows version, there is a field called "Fetching Method" and you can choose between WMI or RPC. The rest of the fields are very similar between the 2 components. Would it be possible to combine these into 1 component and make the fields dynamic? That is to say, if I chose a "Fetching Method" of WMI, all the fields required for WMI polling become visible...if I chose SNMP, those required fields become visible, same for RPC.

What does this do for us? Consolidation of choices...it doesn't do anything more than that, just eliminates 1 component simplifying our environment a bit. Now, using that same logic, I'm sure there are other ways to simplify/consolidate the components; like "Agent" vs "Agentless" fields. I'm betting if someone reviewed all the various components, there's probably only a need for about 10 total.
