Suggestions for improvement

Hi,
Here are some suggestions to improve user experience

1. Make options shorter. I understand Click does not support autocomplete, and it is a pain to enter these long options/arguments in powershell/cmd.exe. But click can have options like “-i”, “--input-file” or “-r”, “--report-file”, etc
2. Move the CloudShell credentials/configuration to a static configuration, so user does not have to the file name each time
3. Provide an option for enabling SNMP on devices. Currently the tool assumes SNMP is configured on all devices and ready to go.
4. User should be able to provide resource name as an option in the input file. I understand this is possible in some options (run-from-report??). Many users have the device's host name different than the naming convention in CloudShell
5. For physical connections, looks like some mandatory information requested is unnecessary (domain name, resource name)
6. Try to restrict the input file type to just one type. Currently the tool uses yml, excel and/or json. Specifically, at least use CSV instead of excel, if all the inputs cannot be managed by CSV.
