User story
As a PRTG user, I want to customize Device templates with parameters to simplify device deployments.
Details of user story
This will eliminate the need to have 3 templates for 1 device type, only different in the sensor parameters (based on priority/SLA of device for example). Then only 1 template can be changed to add a new sensor, instead of 5.
As soon as user select the template to use, new form will be shown to input the parameters or skip if the defaults are suitable.
Example template
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<devicetemplate id="company.template1" name="Example Template" priority="1">
<parameter id-"ErrorLimit" defaultValue="25" description="Use default limit for the create channel, SLA high devices should have value of 50"/>
<parameter id="Detailed" defaultValue="1" description="Additional channels will be created (size of drive, )" />
<parameter id="LimitSAPmounts" defaultValue="0" description="Return only SAP related mounts" />
<create id="4389d833-5774-41be-a8f9-9e134f6aab2d" kind="exexml" displayname="Device Sensor ({Detailed})">
<createdata>
<tags>sla xmlexesensor</tags>
<exefile>
<cell col="0">PRTG_Sensor.ps1</cell>
<cell col="1">PRTG_Sensor.ps1</cell>
</exefile>
<exefilelabel>PRTG_Sensor.ps1</exefilelabel>
<exeparams>-Ip %host -TestDrives 1 -Details {Detailed} -MaxErrorLimit {ErrorLimit} -SAPOnly {LimitSAPmounts}</exeparams>
</createdata>
<triggerdata />
</create>
</devicetemplate>
Additional validation of the parameters could be implemented.
For example:
<parameter id="Detailed" defaultValue"="25" validate="Integer"/>
}}}
Acceptance criteria
- Criterion #1: Extend the device templates to have new property paramater, to specify name and its default value if user does not provide value
