On the Application Dashboard, Provide Total Wait (Latency x Calls) in the dashboards. This would definitely could be added to the top services widget.

The App Dashboard doesn't really let you know what is the busiest service or endpoint that has the most wait. The calls let you know it's busy, but you don't know if it's a problem because it could be a really fast cached call. The latency is good...

Use DNS lookup in SevOne-fix-hosts-file

The SevOne-fix-hosts-file script currently uses SSH to get the hostname of each server in the cluster. In a large cluster, this script can take 2-3 hours to complete. Changing from a repetitive SSH to a DNS lookup cuts down the time considerably.
over 1 year ago in SevOne / Network Management System (NMS) 0 Future consideration

Need an efficient feature, or path (e.g. API endpoint) to export Raw Flow data from SevOne for consumption over Kafka. SDB does this, but only for metrics. Attempts to use SevOne-act (as a way to work around the SDB limitation) result in long export times, would not scale, and would not be supported by IBM.

For SevOne customers using a Data Lake architecture, who want to store/process Raw Flow data, for downstream security or other analysis/anomaly detection would find this highly valuable.
