Engineers Toolset: User Experience enhancements

ETS has been around for quite some time now. It is high time that it also received it's due

User Experience is supposed to be constantly upgraded.

A few things that need to be done -

• Pop-up or highlight a Node Down or Interface down : Under the Network Monitor using Toolset Launchpad, the engineer using the desktop version may have toolset minimized so it would be nice for the engineer to see a POP-UP for a node down or interface down. If the window is not minimized, it would be helpful to see a simple highlight of Node down or Interface down status.
• Maintenance Mode or Mute mode for Nodes: If the engineer is already aware of the node down status, it would be nice for him to mute or put that node in Maintenance mode.
• Multicast Monitoring utility: A long pending request on the lines of the mping 

A few others also pending from other community members

Thwacksters are requested to add to this small list.

ETS Development - pls enhance this wonderful tool, needs some sprucing up
