When you copy a rule, activate only the sites that are affected by the new rule.

13 votes

When creating a new rule or changing a existing one, only the affected sites need to be activated. But when a rule is copied, the sites of the source rule must always be activated as well, even though these sites have not undergone any changes.

This behavior leads to many unnecessary activations on sites not affected by the copied rule. Copied rules should be treated the same as new rules, i.e. only the target sites should have to be activated.

Hello,

Thank you for your idea. On this portal, we carefully evaluate ideas to ensure that they will benefit a wide range of users. Thus, we close ideas not fulfilling certain criteria:

- Suggestions with low user interest: created more than 1 year ago with 5 votes or less
- Suggestions with no momentum: no votes in the last 6 months

Unfortunately, this suggestion doesn't meet these criteria, so we’re closing it (based on the data available until 2023-10-17). We appreciate your contribution and encourage you to continue to share your ideas. Your input plays a vital role in helping us improve our product for everyone.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Warm regards,
Your Checkmk Team

Customers with large environments have the disadvantage in the FR portal that their FRs will not get much attention because the small customers do not have these problems and therefore do not vote for it.
