🔖 Feature description

It would be awesome if:

• defaults could be set somewhere so new monitors default to 60-3-20 (for example)
• we could select multiple monitors (of same type) and change the parameters en masse

✔️ Solution

After setting up 40 or so ICMP monitors, I started getting false alarms with 1 dropped ping packet. I realized the defaults of 60-0-60 are not ideal for me. I prefer 60-3-20. But now I have to manually edit each monitor and re-save it.

❓ Alternatives

I think I could execute some SQL directly on the db to do the bulk update of these parameters, but I am not sure if that is safe.

For now, I poked around the SQLite db and figured out how to do it manually.

List all monitors with some detail

# sqlite3 -header /app/data/kuma.db 'select id,type,name,hostname,interval,maxretries,retry_interval from monitor'

Update all ICMP monitors that don't have retries==3 and interval==20:

# sqlite3 /app/data/kuma.db 'UPDATE monitor SET maxretries = 3, retry_interval = 20 WHERE type = "ping" AND (maxretries != 3 OR retry_interval != 20)'

I think this is a partial duplicate of #455
Duplicates only create immortal zombies and are really hard to issue-manage.
Could you edit your issue (description + title) to make this unique? ^^
