Feature Requests Add Creation Date column to Nodes, Interfaces, Volumes tables

Add Creation Date column to Nodes, Interfaces, Volumes tables

There are many times we would like to know the date a node or interface was added to NPM. It's great node/interface changes are being logged in Events but this is not helpful for permanent historical purposes. I'd like to request a new column be added to the Nodes table labeled "Node Added" (or Node Created) so this information is retained until the Node is retired/deleted. Also, would like to have this info displayed in the Advanced Node Details resource. In addition, a similar column be added for Interfaces and Volumes tables.

I would love to see this information/feature, as well as, the user who added the node or interface...
Node added on:
Node added by:
This would help track down when, why, and which user(s) added which nodes/interfaces. There have been countless times when we get alerts for an interface down, yet that interface should not even be in the system. Then I start getting "TPS Report" questions about why we are monitoring that interface... to which my only response is, I was not aware we were monitoring the interface... which then leaves the only explanation of, SolarWinds must be adding these nodes/interfaces automatically... which is not a desired function/feature, in our world...
