Iirc, server string only matters when setting up a new device. Does

I've been meaning to write this up as a feature request. The request
is that there is a way to tell probes to use default parameters from
the server settings and update them when the server settings update.
For example, in your case, I think there should be a check box "use
default" that when checked should grey out the SNMP text field in
the probe and insert the value from the server settings.
I have mixed feelings about inheriting changes but as long as it's
optional I don't see any harm.
With the current version of InterMapper (and at least a few versions
back) I know you can select multiple SNMP probes & use "Set Probe" to
change the community string for all of them at once. This also works
for other probes/other parameters & can make life easier for bulk
changes like rotating SNMP community strings or switching from v2 to v3.
I know this works from a map's device list but I'm not sure if it
works from the server's device list/across multiple maps.
Same for notifiers. For example, I have two network engineers that
are being alerted. I'd like to be able to create a notifier for a
3rd engineer and just "copy" the settings so the 3rd notifier is
identical to the first two and only the email address is different.
I don't believe it's possible in the current version.
This one sounds useful though I probably wouldn't do it myself: I
structure notifiers by group/class rather than having one for each
person & each notifier bugs the appropriate people. If someone needs
to be alerted for a particular type of problem their address gets
added to that notifier.
In fairness I started doing this because there's no easy way that I
know of to assign multiple notifiers to something with one click & I
didn't want to have to set a bunch of notifiers individually because
I'm lazy, but I've grown accustomed to it now :)
