Allow more options for Perspective and Grouping in the Infrastructure View

Hi team,

 

we know currently we can use Zones, which are the default display in the Infrastructure View, and then we can use Host or Container Grouping based on a defined set of attributes like CPU, OS, K8S namespace, etc.

We explored the Tag Prefix option, but this is not ideal, and we would like to have other "slice and dice" options to visualize a set of hosts. As an example in the demo please see the use of "prod" as the Tag Prefix, which shows Zones with an incomplete name, so its functionality is a bit limited, unless you have defined Tags for all your hosts to categorize them, but even then, you can only set one Tag Prefix. It would be great to have more options in the "Configure Perspective and Grouping" Menu, maybe kind of similar to what we can do with Application Perspectives where we are able to slice and dice for any subset we need.

 

Thanks for your consideration of this enhancement,

 

Julia
