Linux SNMP Wizard + Alias

Post by TBT »

I've never played with Host Templates before and wonder how/if possible to modify the Linux SNMP Wizard so that the Alias is included as a text field under Linux Machine Details in Step 2?

Would be great to have this field available on setup, rather than modifying later. Please advise.

This may be obvious from https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf, but I would suggest writing a new wizard rather than modifying the current wizard. this issue with modifying existing wizards is that the mods will be overwritten on upgrade. That is not the case with custom wizards.

Alternatively, I am happy to put in a feature request.

Understood, I'll start there. Would be a useful feature, so yes, please do. Keep in mind the feature would be applicable to all wizards.

I have submitted a feature request. Due to a change in the way our feature requests are handled, I do not have a reference # yet. If you check back tomorrow, I should be able to give you an update, potentially with a reference #.
