Modern Dashboard Remove Table Widget Scrollbar if Contents Fit
The modern dashboard table widget always shows a scrollbar and extensive scroll area regardless of the table contents. This can confuse dashboard users if they accidentally scroll down enough to hide the content of the widget. Please remove the scrollbar from tables whose content fits within the defined widget size…
Perfstack: highlight metric line dynamically
I has been beneficial to combine charts for a group of servers. However, the individual lines can get muddied together. It would be nice to highlight the line for the metric the cursor is on.
Allow any response field to be monitored in the API Poller
Frequently many of us will need to query an API that doesn't provide a response that Orion can see as a monitorable resource (text fields, email address, url). Giving us the ability to have whichever field responses we want write to the database would make external APIs much more compatible. Status pages OpsGenie
Modern Dashboard Proportional Widget Legend Text Alignment

Alert option "Condition must exist for more than XX polling cycles"

For example: My alert which is good for all other SAM monitors has "condition must exist for 10 minutes". I have a few SAM monitors that don't…
Get real-time process list via SWIS
Sometimes I want to get a list of running processes on a node using code instead of the GUI. It would be very useful if there were a SWIS method that I could use to do this e.g. Orion.APM.RealTimeProcesses().
Application Metric Persistence - Save your application monitoring metrics from digital death!
A simple one, and one with a niche use, but very handy nevertheless. Imagine this, dear reader. Your boss asks you to remove a node from Orion, RIGHT NOW! Easy enough, I hear you say. But wait! Your boss has some provisos: * You are required to remove the node from Orion immediately! BUT * That node had an important…
