Hi there,

Some things that could be interesting based on experience:

- When creating a node, reverse lookup would be interesting. Sometimes one knows the IP but not the FQDN. If you enter an IP @ and push "resolve" you get IP @ of localhost (the one running the console) and no name.

- when defining a new event processing rule, we hav eto close the window to get asked if we want to save the story. Would be nice to have a drop down menu with options (like duplicate rule, etc...) among which "save" to save the current config if relevant (if no change then greyed out ;-)

Regards,

Jdamien

Currently, you can enter IP address as node name, press "Resolve" to fill IP address field with same value. If node has IP address as it's name, it will be resolved via DNS or agent at first configuration poll. But yes, reverse lookup in dialog could be useful.

You can use main menu Policy -> Save policy or just press Ctrl+S.
