I've been thinking about this and there are times when I would prefer not to get asked for the values, instead I would like to control these through service templates that I have provided as part of the configuration wizard.admin wrote:... so we'll extend the config wizard API to allow your own custom wizards to initialize the default values that are displayed here.
For example, I have 6 monitoring tests. Normally when added via a wizard the minutes and amount of checks are applied directly to each service. If I suddenly want to increase or descrease the intensity of the monitoring I will need to go and adjust all six services.
When using a service template against each one of these services and not having the check times and number of checks defined on each of the 6 services, I can change the service template and all 6 services would be adjusted in one configuration change.
So it would be good to be able to define in the configuration wizard some sort of "do not prompt user for check times and number of checks values". Some soft of programming flag. Additionaly the author I could provide a message at this step explaing something like "the author of this wizard has chosen to use templates to define the check times and number of checks. If you would like to adjust these please go and edit the service template xxxxx".
I hope this makes sense.
