This is certainly true for me, and I suspect most other ISP/telco people, hence the feature never being in Observium before.
It's probably quite common in the enterprise and small business space though, where people are more likely to manage things via VPN tunnels rather than via central bastion hosts.
One thing that's happened over time is that our primary user base has diversified from being mostly small ISPs and hosting companies to being much broader, these days covering governments, universities, retail outfits, and even the odd space exploration company!
It's pretty difficult to satisfy everyone, so things like this probably don't make sense to some users, but seem like no-brainers to others!
Either way, it'll probably be a configurable feature!

I agree, less is more, but how would O determine what to use on devices that were routers or switches or something that had WebUI and/or telnet and/or ssh CLI, where either one was user configurable?
Perhaps a configurable default; an array that you could specify OS' and/or host names? Ya, fuck me too. That's getting complicated :)
olso, almost nobody with more than a bunch of device configured on observium will manage them directly from the laptop where they run the browser... :-)
