A few minutes ago I accidentally deleted my backbone switch (and all the interfaces of course). Since undeleting an element (node, interface etc.) is not possible (Except restoring SQL from backup) it means that I've lost all the interface statistics, node statistics (CPU, Memory, Availability) and atlas map drawing. And this is not my first time. This is a common issue for all of us. If NPM can remember an element for a specific period of time that would be great. It shouldn't be that hard!
Also the most needed features in NPM are below (IMHO)
- Granular node management rights
- Multiple IP Polling support for a single node
- Orion Next Generation User Interface
- Undeleting a node/interface should be possible
- Custom property support for groups
Please vote those ideas as well if you think you need them.
