Server & Application Monitor (SAM)

Feature Requests SAM application template updater

Open for Voting

SAM application template updater

Idea of the day: Why not have a way to both a: trigger an existing downloaded/imported SAM application monitor template to update (downloading the latest version from thwack) and also b: ensuring it then gets applied to all the nodes that already exist? This might be a way to preserve data and/or keep templates up to date where people may be having errors due to stale versions of a template and/or a way to highlight updated templates, in addition.

I like the concept, but I'm not sure I agree with auto-update and apply. I think I'd prefer a notification similar to the way module (NPM, NCM, SAM, etc.) updates are done. Then I can pick-n-choose what I want to update, and I can review the updates before applying them.

I was thinking that people would be triggering this by choice with a notification (similar to product blog updates) not just auto-update. I still think it's needed, though.
