Feature Requests Muted Node Icons

Open for Voting

over 4 years ago

Muted Node Icons

With the enhancement of allowing nodes to be Muted rather than Unmanaged, it would be great to be able to get a visual indication of this status. It is currently very easy to determine if a node is Unmanaged in nearly any view as it is indicated by the unmanaged icon .

The Feature Request is to add the following or similar icons to indicate the various scenarios in which a node may be Muted.

I had a case where we submitted a feature request similar to this one. Not sure why the engineer didn't know this was already a request...it came up as a result of what we were tackling in the case that it would be good to know if a node were muted or not. Seems like a fairly straightforward change, don't you think?

While, I think I see where you're going, I look at it like this...
For me, the muting of an alert allows me to know when a node is back online and functioning correctly, without triggering an alert. This is useful during a maintenance window or something similar where you want to know if the node is back online or what have you, but you don't want to ring any alarm bells.
Having this visual indication, yes still monitors the node, but at least gives you an idea if an alarm will trigger.

While I like the idea, my twisted way of thinking has a question: If you add these colored status icons, is that not just regular monitoring, but setting the status to muted?
