Individual Node Resource Thresholds

I've been working with the NPM and SAM for a number of years now and would like to see the following feature implemented.

I'm aware that you can change the NPM 'Orion General Thresholds' globally for all nodes and resources of said nodes, however not all nodes (servers in my case) are created equal.

It would be nice to be able adjust the thresholds individually for all resources on a node but also to have say a reset button to bring the node+resources back to the default settings (just in case)

My examples;

We have a file server used as a repository to store our software, its currently at 95% disk usage and thus it appears in my top 10 and bright red on the screen. However this server does not change much and always runs at near capacity. It would be nice to adjust the threshold on this disk so that it only goes red at say 99% (As NPM uses percentages to display graphs etc there can be a big difference between % free between a 2TB drive Vs a 72GB drive). This is not the case for my other servers and thus need a different threshold.

My second example would be a production SQL server which has its SQL RAM usage limited, again it runs perfectly well day in day out, but as its in the 95% usage and above bracket the RAM appears on the display as red and in the top 10.

It would be nice to be able to fine-tune the thresholds to the specific requirements of our nodes and their resources?
