keep more config in distributed setup in sync
When adding a remote site via Distributed Monitoring, you can choose to push the configuration to the remote site. This means, that e.g. user-defined views and the configuration of the sidebar are also pushed to the remote site (i.e. when you log in directly to the remote site). But this seems to be a one-time process: Adding a new view to the central site when the remote site is already connected, this view is not replicated to the remote site, and AFAIKT there is no mechanism to enforce this.
Either don't replicate this type of configuration when initially connecting to a remote site at all, or (preferably) push this type of changes also regularly to remote sites to keep views etc. in all sites in sync.

joerncI need to clarify my request: The user configuration is pushed to the remote site, but with a strange delay. If I add e.g. a new view on the master site under "Other", nothing happens on the remote site (for example it is not shown in the "Views" sidebar). When I add another view on the master site, the first view now becomes visible on the remote site - and so on, i.e. the remote site is always missing the most recent change from the master site.
Logging out and in again on the remote site fixes the problem. But the fact, that the first change becomes visible without any further interaction on the remote site when the second change is pushed, suggests a timing problem between pushing a change and updating the UI. -
