Ability to Star Reports I Don't Own

Request for Shortened Report Links in Cloudability

The customer has highlighted a challenge with the current structure of Cloudability report links. Unlike Apptio BI, where links are shortened, Cloudability links embed the entire report logic, making them excessively long.

Anomaly detection on issues

When an unusual amount of issues have occured (for an entity) it would be good to assure this boils up somehow. I.e. if CPU usage or memory exhaustion happens more frequently than usual (on a host) the user should be able to be informed pro-active...
