Kafka topic lag data is unusable in its current state

The way that kafka topic lag data is represented within Instana makes it virtually unusable.   The reason is that each topic is listed independently.  There is no way to apply general rules to the data.   

For example, if I try to create an Event against the kafka lag data, I MUST specify the topic/lag.   For example, if I want to create a custom dashboard showing lag, I can't simply specify a top 10 list for topics.  I must specify 1 by 1 each and every topic in order to graph out the lag data.   This is completely unusable.   

If I try to create a SmartAlert, and I try to show the topic lag using the "list" option, I don't see all of the topics.  If I use the "Regex" option, I can see them all.   But, I can't create a Smart Alert against the lag data.

 

This is one of the most important metrics for kafka and we can't use it in a meaningful way.
