While testing some stuff, I had my metric collection set to 1min and at one point had
to shut down the agent.
Result was that the server correctly saw the agent going down. Metric did not show up
equally
as expected. BUT just showed as green.
Of course one can argue that the monitored resource itself was not down, so green is
correct.
But then the graph just having a hole in the metrics but always showing green is
confusing

Another area where our users are struggling and which lessens the value is the relatively
long
availability reporting interval, which we've introduced to reduce the load for large
scale systems.
I know that this can be configured; still operators expect to hear from downed hosts
earlier from their
SLM system than from the customers.
The third area (which is my pet) is the issue of lingering resources that are always down,
just
because they got auto detected, but are not in use and can't be auto-inventoried.
