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.
