Computer selection inconsistancy in webui
Running Heroix Longitude 6.1.2 (build 337)
This inconsistency in the webui leaves me confused as well as making it difficult to /delete/ Monitored computers though I can easily /add/ Computers to be Monitored:
Where Computers are to be selected for Monitoring, the comma-delimited field is blank though Computers are being monitored, and in the Monitored Computers drop-down, the monitored computers are not checked according to the "Gears" view where I do see all monitored Computers by Application. See Home | Monitoring | Manage Monitoring | Monitor Application
http://bhbs-heroix:7228/webui/Monitoring/DataCollection/ManageDataCollec...
I expect that field to contain all the hosts being monitored in a comma-delimited list, and I expect the actually monitored Computers to be checked off in the drop-down list, just like they do below...
...in a practically identical Computer selection scenario (e.g. Home | Actions | Manage Action Rules) in the Computer section, the comma delimited list is populated, and the Computers in the comma delimited list are also checked in the Monitored Computers drop-down list.
http://bhbs-heroix:7228/webui/Actions/ActionRules/ManageActionRules/modi...
The comma-delimited list makes it easy to add/remove Computers to an Action Rule, or I can use the check boxes in the drop down.
Therefore, the list field and checkboxes are empty and...
Home | Actions | Manage Action Rules
...should be populated akin to
Home | Monitoring | Manage Monitoring | Monitor Application
If I understand you, you want the Monitor Application page computer list to be populated with whomever is currently being monitored for the chosen solution, both in the list field and checked in the monitored computer check boxes?
The reason the computer field is blank is that any servers that appear in this list will have monitoring registered for the chosen solution. So if already monitored computers are in the list, you would be re-registering collections for all servers every time you add a new server. Maybe I didn't fully understand what you'd like to see. Did I get it right?
The UI should be consistent. It's a mistake to have identical user interfaces behave differently. I understand what you are saying about re-registering collections, but that's something that should be handled programmatically, not in the UI.
Solution: Don't re-register the Computers that are already registered even if they are listed or checked, and populate the list and the checkboxes accordingly.
Then the user interfaces will behave similarly.

Understood. I checked on this, and Andy has opened an Enhancement Request (#4153) for this. He'll be contacting you directly after the request is evaluated by development and product management. We appreciate your feedback.
Thanks
