<![CDATA[Auto discovered dci deleted once wireless ap client unreachable]]>Hello

I am having litle bit of trouble with template monitoring. With template auto apply rule device is added to template, for example wireless ap. Inside template there are few dcis, some for ap itself, some for ap clients. Problem is when some client disconnects its dci wil turn into unsupported and is automaticaly removad and once it connects again new dci is auto generated. That effectivly deletes all collected history and fills alarm windows with "status of dci xxx changed to unsupported". How could it be awoided, once dicovered keep it until user deletes?

It was done as it was assumed that either node has connected and have all DCI's or it has no connection, so that users do not need to make any manual actions if instance gone.

Usualy monitoring softwares show caps in data when polling was unavailable, not delete entire history. With costum instance retension set to same as data retention time it does exactly this.
