Add Confirmation Before Host Discovery to Prevent Unintended SOC Alerts

Dear staff, when I configure a host and click on the button with the three dots next to the hostname, discovery starts immediately. This has caused the SOC to generate alerts. It would be nice if this button showed a confirmation before starting discovery. This could avoid alerts and related misunderstandings among colleagues, especially when administrators are new to RDM and clicking on this button may be unintentional. Thank you very much for your help!

Hello,

We could add a confirmation with a "Don't show again" checkbox so users who wouldn't like the additional click will only receive this prompt once.

I've opened a ticket.

Thank you very much! Perhaps an application setting to re-enable it could be useful. Alternatively, if you think this warning is not necessary, the same setting could be disabled by default. In any case… thank you again! Best regards.

No problem, we could add something in File > Settings to re-enable the prompt. I'll add this to our ticket.

Yes, we will make sure to post back in this thread if we either have additional questions, or when development will be completed. Don't hesitate to post here either if you have anything else to add that we didn't take into account!

Hello,

We've added a prompt for confirmation when using the the buttons showcased in your screenshot. It will come with a "Don't ask again" option, than can be reset manually under File - Settings - Advanced, under the name Disable prompt for confirmation when browsing host. (Checkbox)

You can expect this with the upcoming 2025.3.26 version.

Hello,

Thank you for being so patient!

I'm pleased to inform you that a new version of RDM (2025.3.26.0) has been released, with the feature included.

Perfect, thank you, it works! However, I noticed that the prompt is not displayed if Discovery is launched from the QuickConnect bar. Is this intentional or an oversight? Thank you!

Hello,

We added the feature mainly for the section you requested. I'll have it added to the quick connect host browsing as well. You can expect that with the upcoming 2025.3.27 version.
