I'm starting to use NetXMS and when I populated the network I decided to put each node in containers corresponding to its physical location's neighborhood. The problem was: when I tried to apply templates to the nodes I couldn't just select the containers which had the nodes, I had to open every container and select each node manually.
This sure isn't a big deal, but this kind of work can be time-consuming, monotonous and tiring when dealing with large networks. I mean, imagine selecting 2000 nodes manualy without being able to just select first, hold Shift and select last?
So my suggestion would be to add the possibility to apply a template to all the nodes that are children of a container by selecting the container itself.
For example, if I have the following directory subtree:
Infrastructure Services
|
|_Container A
| |
| |_Container B
| | |
| | |_node 1
| | |_node 2
| | |_node 3
| |
| |_Container C
| |
| |_node 4
| |_node 5
|
Templates
|
|_Template T
And tried to apply template T to directory A, T would be applied to all nodes from node1 to node5.
What do you think?
Thank you,
