Database list filter / Readonly account suggestion

lehrsj24

First I'd like to say that I do like this product.

I know it's been suggested before and I too have need of a read-only type account that doesn't allow changes to the configuration. Perhaps the configuration screen doesn't even need to be a display option but if it is, it should be read-only.

I would like the ability to allow the support team of an application to get a read-only view of just the database instances that deal with their application. I know there are server groups but that doesn't work for applications. I might have these SQL servers:

ServerA
ServerA_SQL_Instance1
ServerA_SQL_Instance2

ServerB
ServerB_SQL_Instance1
ServerB_SQL_Instance2
ServerB_SQL_Instance3

ServerC
ServerC_SQL_Instance1
ServerC_SQL_Instance2

I might have two applications, Summer and Spring, that use the following servers/sql instances:

Application: SUMMER
ServerB
ServerB_SQL_Instance1
ServerC
ServerC_SQL_Instance2

Application: SPRING
ServerA
ServerA_SQL_Instance1
ServerB
ServerB_SQL_Instance1

What I would like to be able to do is set up some type of filter for SUMMER that includes server alerts for ServerB and ServerC and also includes alerts for ServerB_SQL_Instance1 and ServerC_SQL_Instance2. I don't want it to include th alerts for ServerB_SQL_Instance2 or ServerC_SQL_Instance1. I would then like to be able to give the SUMMER support person a link to the monitoring web site that shows him view-only data for this filter only.

I would want to do the same thing with the SPRING application.

Thanks.

Hi

This functionality is definitely in our roadmap for the product and is currently being tracked on the enhancement request SRP-3008.

We take note of all feedback and the more requests we have for this the earlier it will be implemented.

Thanks again
Chris
