ability to create alert or threshold based metric trend reports

I think it would be useful to be able to create a report along the lines of an alert report, but with graphs.

Something like: \'\'Show me all interfaces in the Network Devices folder that have the InErrors and OutErrors datapoint with values past X or past the set threshold. And it would include the graphs for each instance that met the criteria.

It seems you can do the \'\'show me InErrors and OutErrors on all interfaces in the X group\'\' with the host metric trends report, but it includes everything, including all the interfaces with no errors.

    I like this idea. I would maybe call it a dynamic dashboard. It would be just another dashboard that would be empty by default. You could then define some kind of criteria and/or filter that would dynamically drop certain graphs in. Like...rnAll CPU usage graphs where where hasCategory(CiscoCPU)rnor...rnAll interface graphs > 95% utilization where !hasCategory(VMware)rnOr whatever. Such a dashboard would have the possibility of blowing up and showing 40,000 graphs. Maybe limit it to twelve graphs and then maybe a Next Page button at the bottom.rn
