Mazz - I think that's a fair point though I strongly favor the in-place editing.   

Mike - does this have to be an either/or choice? if the user selects multiple rows can the behavior remain the same?   It would be nice if the collection interval, enable/disable buttons were only visible in the multi-select scenario to help make the use obvious.

What happens if someone wants to just disable ALL metric collection for a particular resource? And what if that resource has lots of metrics?
