Device Groups in the Metadata widget: If the source group has child groups, have an option to list only the child groups. Allow for a regex pattern to filter the device groups within the selected Parent.

It would allow the widget to display device groups that were dynamically added. It would allow more control over which groups get displayed.

At the top of each Performance Metrics widget, have a toggle button for every feature that is enable from the Analyze widget settings tab.

A widget with many indicator rows requires clicking on each row to disable or enable them in the view. It would be nice to, with one click, be able to just turn on or off all baselines, time-over time, percentile, trend, etc.

Make Object Types Searchable by OID or indicator name

Right now if someone comes to me and asks me to enable crasSVCNumSessions / .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392.1.3.35 it's kind of a nightmare. Under Object Types I cannot search by OID or via the indicator type "crasSVCNumSessions". The best I can currently do...

NMS needs to contain functionality pre process SNMP String type values and based on identifiable returned string values assign an integer/number value and record that as the associated indicator metric value.

Within the area of responsibility for Verizon GTS there are several hundred SNMP objects that need to be tracked the return a STRING value instead of a number or integer. Many of the strings are fixed. e.g. a status code of "active" vs "inactive"....

Option to stop auto resolve events or smart alerts.

Having the ability to disable auto-resolution for smart alerts or events would provide greater control over how they are closed. For example, if I want HTTP 500 smart alerts to remain unresolved until I've added all the case notes, gathered necess...
