Allow Multiple Monitor Groups in Status Dashboard
When creating new status dashboards, under "Select Resource Type" we have the option to select individual monitors, a single group or all monitors. I would like to be able to select multiple groups. This functionality is available in other parts of the site, such as Maintenance scheduler.

Simplify your Azure Management Processes with Cmdlets
Many system administrators are familiar with web based interfaces to manage cloud instances, however did you know that Windows Azure allows you to automate virtually any task with a few lines of code? With DevOps gaining steam in the system administration sector, professionals such as yourself need to leverage all your resources to get an edge over the competition. One of those resources is the Windows PowerShell which allows you to execute tasks from a command line interface. Leveraging PowerShell
Windows Agent proxy settings

Get current status
Hi, How can I get the current status of a monitor using the new REST API? I couldn't find any information about that but I can see it in the "old" API: https://help.site24x7.com/api/Current-Uptime-Status-and-response-time.html What is the equivalent of this call in the new API 2.0? Thanks, Hristo
Better understanding of Actions
Hi, I'm trying to figure out when actions trigger. I have a monitor with polling from 5 geographic locations, and the notification and thresholds says the 3 locations are required to mark it down. I still sometimes get the action firing when less then 3 locations report it down, and it only sometimes triggers back up even when all locations report OK. In all of these instances I'm not receiving any Email alerts for the item being down (as I shouldn't, only 1 geographic location reports a problem).
FTP RTT Monitor issues
I'm trying to create an FTP RTT monitor - just wanted it to test uploading and downloading in the root folder. but the form won't let me proceed without putting something in the destination folder: I tried just a "/" and I tried "/root" - but they both failed when the monitor ran with error: Destination folder "/root" does not exits to upload. Which kind of makes sense. Any suggestions on how to get this monitor to work to upload just to the ftp root?
SLA reports for customers
I would like to ask whether there is any possibility to schedule regular sending of SLA reports to particular customers' mails.
Maintenance & Availability SLA
Am I correct that scheduled maintenance does not affect availability or SLA %? Is there any way to change that behavior so that scheduled maintenance is included in the availability & SLA? I have SLA requirements that both include and exclude scheduled maintenance and I need to provide reports on both.
Allow more than one user to have full admin role
As far as we can tell, currently only one user can have full access to all features in our account. Granting someone else "Admin" role still does not give them access to the API key, etc. This is a problem in any larger IT department and I would like to see a role that has ALL access that can be given to more than one person. Please consider what would happen if the primary person were to leave the company without transferring access. We would then be required to contact your support and have you

Configs for Different Rails Environments
Hello, How can we configure our Rails application.name in apminsight.conf to default to a different name per environment without manual configurations? The goal is to differentiate Production, Staging, and Development data without manual intervention on each installation. Can the conf file read in ENV variables somehow? Something like this would work great for us (but doesn't work) application.name=ourAppName-$RAILS_ENV Thanks ~Nate
Status Dashboard Layout 1 without Site24x7 Top Banner
Regarding Layout 1 in the status dashboard views, it's the only one of the three that has the green site 24x7 banner at the top. I prefer the simplicity of the layout to the other two, is there an option to suppress that banner?
Why Your IT Monitoring Strategy Should Include Synthetic and User Monitoring
Your site may have already felt the scary aftereffects of a mobile or shopping experience gone wrong this past holiday season…without even knowing it. In fact, Google reported 20% lost revenue and traffic from a mere half a second increase in page load time*. You don’t need to be reminded of the lost revenue, brand reputation damage and inconsistent user experiences that could hit your company big…in just seconds.

Encrypting Form Login Authentication Information
Greetings, It would be great if we can hide the parameters that are passed when we set up monitoring for a page that requires a login. There is an instance here where a user's account is being used to login to a page that is being monitored, we don't want the user's information to be available to anyone with admin access. Thanks, Anoush

Server monitor capture CPU intense process
Is there any way to capture a snapshot of the processes/CPU usage when the monitor triggers a treshold. For example, it would be very interesting to know what process is using most CPU when we have a trigger for CPU usage > 90%... Or do I manually need to add all processes under the "Services and Processes" tab for this monitor?
Ability to only trigger alerts if threshold is broken for multiple intervals
Development, Is it possible to add intervals to the alerting on the server agents. We do not need an alert every single time the threshold is met. We would prefer to have a -'consecutive alert' type threshold as well that the system will not generate message until the CPU stays above threshold for 3 intervals of 5 minutes?
Thresholds and Notifications - Feature requests
It would be useful with following changes/addons: 1. Possibility to chose if an exceded threshold should generate status "Trouble" or "Down". 2. Possible to set several combinations of threshhold & activity + notification profiles on the same monitor. Then we could setup one configuration that warns a certain notification group when the server is in Trouble, and then at some other threshold we could warn when it is Down. (i.e. then different methods of alerting the affected people could be used)
Server monitor Performance number?
Server monitor Performance seems to be showing a bit random values, usually 0% or 100%, but occasionally something in between. What is this number based on for the Server Monitor?

Hi Guys, Looking at the settings for reoccurring maintenance windows, would it be possible to have something like [number] [day] of the [week/month/year] with which we could create for example : 1st Tuesday of the month Some method of multi select would also be useful so one could achieve for example: 1st and 2nd Wednesday and Thursdays of each month ? Thanks
