PERFSTACK - Ability to quickly clear the Metric Palette

I find that we add a lot of one-off metrics to Perfstack Analysis and the fastest way to find them is to find the node or vm and click the "Add all other entities related to this entity" button.  But once I have added it I then need to add the same metric from a different node - it would be much cleaner/quicker if there was a way to clear the Metric Palette with one button and add the next nodes and related items, etc.  Otherwise we have to individually click each of the entities to remove them or it quickly becomes unmanageable.

This is an AMAZING product/feature!  Keep up the great work guys!  I live in this all day now - using so much more of the data that Solarwinds was collecting.

  • I wanted to revisit this - the metric palette button to "Reset to current project's entity context" is an awesome feature and works great.  But we still have the situation where we need to clear the palette on a regular basis.  One of those situations is when we are starting a new Analysis Project... If we could still hit the button to sync the projects with the EMPTY entity context that would help a bit, and hopefully not a difficult change?

    If you hit the button to "Add related entities" in just a couple nodes it quickly becomes a chore to clear all the excess out and move to the next metric that your looking for.   Always having an option to clear the palette would save a lot of time.

    Thanks!
