SRM Better Integration with Orion

Pretty much borrowing from my post HERE; SRM just doesn't feel like an integrated piece of Orion like other components such as NPM, SAM, NCM, etc. Aside from utilizing the same WebUI, everything feels completely separate. A few of the things I have noticed thus far are as follows:

The performance graphs don't have an export button so you can see different date/time ranges for performance data
When storage systems are added into SRM they are not added into Orion for the collection of other basic metrics such as memory, CPU, latency, etc.
I can't use the Orion node search function to find nodes in SRM, I have to go look for them with a different search.
When I go to the Manage Storage Objects view I can't add new columns for the different properties and custom properties like I can in the Managed Nodes section of Orion
There doesn't seem to be a good way to search storage devices by IP, CIFS Share, Array, etc.

I think SRM should be treated more like NCM, have a standard node page for the Storage node but have a separate tab for the SRM specific stuff.

I would love to see SolarWinds make this feel like a more integrated component of Orion by addressing some of these issues.

Just to add on to this as I keep finding places where this could be better integrated:

Make it so that the Search by IP in Orion is more comprehensive by making it also search for IP's associated with objects in SRM. I use the Search by IP to find where IP's exist in my environment and the fact that it can't see IP's associated with storage objects is leaving me partially blind.
