If this has been requested before, apologies.
This has bugged me for a while as I could never (within our environment at least) see the specific benefit of being able to monitor, as a volume, physical & virtual memory. Especially as memory gets covered under CPU & Memory when selecting what resources require monitoring.
I'm curious whether something along the below lines could be implemented (& to also to have some option to default these (memory volumes) to be not selected, or have the default as not selected when adding a device) ?
Actually, now I think about it, on devices where there is a disc drive, perhaps this could be defaulted as 'not selected' as well ?
I'm certain that there is a solid 'use case' scenario for having these defaulted to be monitored, but my reality is that it's a minor pain to have to review certain devices (perhaps that my less well informed colleagues have added) & amend these settings.
Partly, this is due to my aim to have a series of 'catch all' alerts/monitors in place that will dynamically pick up against any new devices added without too much manual overhead (& so that nothing get's missed).
An example would be that someone add's a node, includes Virtual/Physical memory as a resource & then over a weekend period, the disk alerting that is in place picks up on (what it sees as) a Critical threshold... I suppose I could incorporate a rule into the alerting criteria that discounts these, but then I'm still monitoring things that, IMO, don't necessarily warrant it.
Anyways... this is just a request, if anyone has some further thoughts/feedback, I'm always open to that.
Thanks,
Daniel
