Make CPU and Memory two Separate Resources

It would be a great benefit to have the option to choose CPU or Memory resources independently instead of together as one resource to monitor. We have multiple devices that have high memory usage all the time, (esx hosts for example) and it would be nice to keep them from clogging up our top ten memory usage list. We are however interested in monitoring the CPU usage, so I would like to suggest making them separate.

Another option for you would be to use filters inside those resources. For example, SQL servers typically run with high memory utilization all the time, so in the 'Top XX Nodes by Percent Memory Used' resource, we use a filter to remove all nodes with SQL in the name: Filter Nodes: Caption not like '*SQL*'

Good call! We are actually using that, and I had not not noticed. I added Caption not like **ESX** We now have six items filtered out. That is an easy feature to use but, it still seems to make more sense to have the resources separate.
