Bring back performance chart breakdown tooltip in the SQLSentry portal
After the change in the web portal platform (in version 2026, I think?), the behavior of the tooltip on charts has changed.

Add missing Performance Analysis tabs to Cloud-Based SQL Targets
Hi, Several tabs visible in SQL Sentry Performance Analysis (specifically in the Windows client) are missing in cloud-based SQL Server targets, such as Azure SQL Databases and Amazon RDS for SQL Server.

Highlight errored queries in TOP SQL
Pre 2025.4 web portal highlighted queries in red that did not complete successfully. This was a quick way to find queries that were having trouble. Please add this functionality back into the portal.
Wait Stats graph on Performance page
After upgrading to version 2025.4, the Wait Stats graph on the Performance tab no longer breaks down what the specific wait stats when you hover over them in the web portal. This was a really nice feature that was in the old version. Can we please get that functionality back?

After the upgrade to version 2025.4, columns have been removed from the TOP SQL traces in the web portal. Information and Error to name a couple. Add all of the columns back into the TOP SQL tables.
