Alert Test Report
I started a chat under ticket 119191 and discussed this with Seth. I would like you to consider this for your next roadmap. I want to be able to see what alerts "would fire" without enabling the alerts. Scenario: Onboarding 10 new devices to a new group with alerting disabled. I want to QUICKLY see how many would fire if I enabled them. No hunting, no slowly turning each one up one by one to prevent the new alert deluge. Maybe a report with applied thresholds and current values with clear indicators what alert level the value is within at the report runtime.0Views0likes3CommentsAlert Test Report

Although a TEST step button is available in service checks (external and internal) this only shows the request made and the response output windows. Neither type gives you any kind of output from the post-processing of the response i.e. JSONPATH results. For the Internal service check that has the scripted option (rather than settings) this is even more noticeable as there is no obvious way to put any println or debug in your response script to make sure it is doing the write thing or work out why it is not doing the right thing. The addition of a stdout/output window that shows response (or request) script output would be really helpful. Also possiblythe addition of a Test Script button for the response script that would run the script and show output as per datasources would also be great. I ran these ideas past support and they suggested raising a feature request so I have. They did also suggest I could test my scripts (request or response) in the console debug window which is possible but not obvious ways to mock LMRequest/LMResponse objects so that the script can run the same way as it would normally as a service check. If there are examples or ways to do this then this may be a good subject to create a support page explaining how to do it.3Views0likes0CommentsAdd "Test" functionality to Event Sources
I have found the new "Test" button on the Datasources'LogicModule setuppages to be invaluable for testing which hosts are associated with my "Applies to" filter. I can make a change to the filter and then get instant feedback, pointing out typographical errors, mispellings, or even possibly that I got it correct! This will be equally valuable for the Eventsources LogicModule setup pages.2Views1like0Comments
