Feature Request: Bulk Import with Notification Disabled

[vAJ]

What's the best way to submit feature requests?

One I have for the Bulk Import Wizard: The ability to place newly imported/cloned hosts/services in a disabled notification mode during the import/clone process.

Many times I go to import a large number of hosts to find that there's something preventing a check from being successful. It would be great to "stage" new imports and verify that everything is in a working state before turning on notifications.

I'm assuming (haven't tested yet), that I could disable notifications on my source host before cloning and the new systems would assume that same configuration. Alas, having the feature in the wizard would be even better.

This does seem like a nice feature to add right into the process, alternatively you could import a chunk at a time, and then disable their notifications with the bulk modifications tool in:

Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Bulk Modifications > Change a single config option

To add a feature request you can submit it at:

Yes, you can disable notifications on the host that you use as a "template". The new hosts will inherit these settings. After you verify that everything works fine, you can use the Bulk Modifications Tool to enable notifications on the new hosts/services in bulk.
