Default server object state

[Jason Tucker <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks -

I opened up an issue (https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/issues/2651)
about default server state, but wanted to bring it up here for discussion.

Currently, when creating a new server object in Traffic Control, the
default state is "OFFLINE". We commonly have to change this to "PRE_PROD"
after the server is created, which helps to differentiate between new
servers that are still going through the provisioning flow, versus servers
that are offline for maintenance activities.

Wondering if anyone had any feelings about this.

Thanks,

__Jason

+1 for enabling the ability to choose your status when you create a server.

That's not a bad idea at all.

I added a couple of comments to the issue. maybe the easy answer is just to
make the status drop down enabled so you can decide what status you want
for the server.
