Group member statistics all visible from group management page

Hi

I'm currently implementing the Solarwinds software over quite a large network and need to be able to quickly monitor what is going on at each site quickly.

What would be brilliant is if from the Custom Table and the Custom Chart objects available in the group and node views could do the following:

In the group view the following features should be there:

1. Have a tick box to automatically include all group members (In the current group) - This has been partially implemented in that the user (myself) first must add all nodes and then select to only include the in group members.  This should be done the other way around, in that there should be the ability for the program (which has already been told which nodes are in which group) to be able to auto populate the nodes to be included.

Example:

I have 2 groups, group A & group B

with members A1,A2,A3 and B1,B2,B3

now when I make a chart in the group view it would be brilliant if it had the feature to automatically include all members A1,A2&A3 into anything I wish to display on the main Group View for A and then similar for group B be able to automatically include all members B1,B2&B3.

Currently this has been a feature for certain elements, but not all

2. Allow for monitoring of all group member properties which can normally be viewed in the node page, not just a set limited predefined set for the Custom Table or the Custom Chart

As an example for this I would like to be able to make a table which can include the following:

Node A1 URI_A1 Availability_A1 PacketLoss_A1  PowerConsumption_A1 Jitter_A1 CPU_Utilization_A1

Node A2 URI_A2 Availability_A2 PacketLoss_A2  PowerConsumption_A2 Jitter_A2 CPU_Utilization_A2

Node A3 URI_A3 Availability_A3 PacketLoss_A3  PowerConsumption_A3 Jitter_A3 CPU_Utilization_A3

(Note, some of the group member properties in the example above are available, but not all.  This should be possible for all properties as shown as they are available at the by Node level once you have drilled down further)

3. Be able to set colours to the sections of the above example table (to flag alerts easily)

Example:

Node A1 URI_A1 Availability_A1 PacketLoss_A1  PowerConsumption_A1

Node A2 URI_A2 Availability_A2 PacketLoss_A2  PowerConsumption_A2

Node A3 URI_A3 Availability_A3 PacketLoss_A3  PowerConsumption_A3

So being able to select thresholds for each device property when shown in tables and associate highlighting to the cell based on its current value

Be able to put a sum and/ or (at the user's choice) average to the bottom row of the table

4. For the charts it would be nice to be able to monitor all of the details (example Jitter Details) and be able to instead of just a sum be able to do an average of the data

Thanks
