Here is my top 10 (okay, my top 11 in order) that I'd love to see in the next release of SolarWinds. That is if I controlled the world.
1. One alert engine. Configure alerts for events, syslog, traps from one interface and have all alerts listed in one place.
2. Connect to relationship between nodes, or interfaces and nodes. I want to know what is connected to a switch, so when the switch goes down I don't get alarms for every node connected to it.
3. After database is created and an account is created to manage that database, then no more SA privileges needed for Database Manager, and software upgrades.
4. Multiple elements on one graph. I'd like to graph more than one custom poller on a graph, or if I wanted to to see bandwidth and CPU util on one graph. Whatever, just give me the ability to graph more than one thing.
5. Change columns in advance alerts. I want to see the alert message, and current value of the alerts. Not group advanced alerts, just list them. I hate that I can't un-group the advanced alerts.
6. Ability to un-manage a node or interface from the web.
7. The ability to edit multiple nodes, or interfaces at once. For example, if I need to change the SNMP community string on all nodes.
8. Ability to gather statistics of an interface, but I don't care if it goes down, so don't alert on it. Ability to turn off alerting on interfaces.
9. Don't just roll up node up or node down status in node icons, but also roll up node problems (CPU, volumes, alerts from traps, syslog, custom pollers).
10. Auto-discovery abilities in NPM.
11. LANSurveyor to use NPM database to make map. Don't want to discover my entire network multiple times.
