Add TopN Capacity widget using percentiles for Percentage-based metrics (interface utilization %, cpu %, etc.)

Capacity planners would like to review large numbers of interfaces, devices, etc. and base their capacity recommendations on the percentage of time devices are in various performance zones (e.g. in past week, these interfaces were above 90% utiliz...

Allow for defining custom date and time formats. This should be globally or per tenant. Maybe have a few predefined formats to choose from. Maybe have ISO 8601 as the default. Let us choose the default time zone as UTC regardless of our local time zone. This should cover all places where a date and time is displayed - unless it came from an external source like in metadata. Maybe let a different format be chosen per widget if needed.

Having a consistent format across all tools would be very nice to have, so being able to define it in DI would help in that. Having everything default to UTC would be very nice since 100% of our reports are displayed in UTC and the SevOne cluster ...

Object Groups in the Metadata widget: Allow the source group to be a Class. Allow for a regex pattern to filter the object groups within the selected Class.

It would allow the widget to display object 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.

If Number of Jobs in Queue is >= threshold then the alert should be triggered.

We have configured some of the jobs visible in Smart alert but still many other jobs are not visible in smart alerts to enable this monitoring parameter. The support team has identified reason behind and it is that only Top 20 Jobs would be visibl...

Monitor subjobs

To be able to monitor subjobs. For example in the bank end of day process, the main job will have many subjobs. In this case the user of the subjobs can be the same with the user of the main jobs, but the jobName and jobNumber for the subjobs can ...

Topology mapping of devices per OSPF areas

For troubleshooting purposes, we need ability to restrict displayed devices to specific OSPF areas. Currently, Resource type filter allows topology items but only for Object groups, not Device groups.

Add sorting options on DI widgets

For UI/UX matters, it would be very useful to be able to save widgets/views in either ascending or descending values, or by certain attributes, but the option is not available. Sorting and saving the report doesn't actually saves it organized as d...
