When in list view, it should be possible to select all hosts/services in the list to perform actions on them. This was already implemented some time ago but got removed again.

Note: This feature was also requested by some people during the last Webinar, and I agree that this would be a nice feature.

I have strong objections against this one, here a few of them:

• we still fail when it goes to select a few hundred rows as of URL length restrictions
• multiline selection does not work across pages
• given those, what das "all" mean to you?

I could live with a link allowing me to continue with all objects matched by the current filter. And I see no quick way to achieve a consistent behaviour otherwise.

Cheers,
Thomas

All services that are matched by the current list filter.

Yes, if we implement this the multi-views and the command-forms need to understand regular filters, otherwise the URLs will get too long (and ugly). The old implementation just selected all elements in the current view, I don't think that this was in any way useful, which is why it was removed.

There's absolutely nothing which speaks against this feature. It just means that we open hosts/show and services/show w/ the current filter. Our command forms then have to be optimised to not show all involved hosts or services. Multi-selection across pages and "continue w/ this filter" URLs are separate issues.

It's just about wording. "Select all" implies something we cannot ship for mentioned reasons. An action named "Use/continue with filtered objects" is what we can easily provide.

Cheers,
Thomas
