Prevent merge policies to be automatically deleted when one scoped member of the policy (host, network, storage, etc) is deleted or removed.

When creating merge policies, if for example, a cluster merge policy contains hostCluster1, hostCluster2 and hostCluster3, and one of those hostCluster is removed from vCenter or from Turbo, the merge police gets automatically deleted, so the cust...

Create an Account level policy entity type

When accounts have many different resource entity types, it's very cumbersome to create a generic policy for half a dozen resource types across dozens of accounts. If there was an Account policy type, high-level settings such as Action Generation:...

Track metadata on when a policy was created, modified and by who

Currently there is nowhere in the policy list to see who created it, when it was created, when it was modified or who the culprit is. This type of basic logging would be very useful when you have hundreds of people active in the tool at the same t...

Breakout list of user-defined policies into entity type to match the list provided in the group management UI

Current groups are broken out by VM, Account, DB, etc. In policies they are only grouped by imported, user defined, etc. Would be more useful to add sub sections by policy type: VM, Volume, etc.

Add description or summary field to Groups and Policy forms

Under the name allow for a short description to be added to explain why that particular group or policy needed to be created. This could then be displayed in the list of those object types for quick viewing. Example1: This group used to isolate th...

Allow a way to Save As New a copy of an existing group, schedule or policy object

Allow for a group, policy, or schedule to be duplicated. Save As New. Keep all current settings allowing the user to first edit the one variable that needs to change and then save to create it. This would significantly speed up the scoping pre-wor...

Policy Toggles to enable/disable a specific policy

Use case 1: Auto imported policies are not needed and are interfering with user defined policies. Enable a policy toggle to disable it at the policy level in Turbonomic so that no resources are affected by it. A bulk selection and disable menu ava...

Create an option for latest gen storage or instance types

Turbonomic could be able to help assist in lifecycle management activities by suggesting only newer (assuming less expensive) hardware types. This avoids having to update hundreds of policies where explicit selections were previously made. Example...

parking filters should include Azure Synapse Analytics workspace.

An azure synapse analytics workspace business owner agreed to park the related VMs for that workspace but the Turbo Parker can't just select those machines based on workspace. The workaround is to tag those VMs with the workspace (or other tag). T...
