Output of netstat from host dashboard

In this particular case - execute a netstat command and get the output - perhaps in a popup window like we do for thread dumps or command line parameters. In general, I get requests to execute arbitrary commands from the context of a dashboard. If I am looking at a host dashboard and want to run "top", the ability to click and have a window popup and show me top is immensely efficient from a useability and efficiency point of view rather than leaving Instana, manually typing in the host and password and running the command. There are a myriad of ancillary utility commands that would be useful if accessible from the context of our dashboards (in this case, the discussion is limited to host/OS commands)
