Big Number Widget - Colored According to Alert Level

What I'm picturing is a hybrid of the NOC widget and big number widget. The big number (text color or background color) would be in green when not triggering any alert conditions and yellow, orange, or red to match alert level. 

Alternatively, adding a value column to the NOC widget would accomplish the same goal.

Either of these allows the eye to be drawn to the most important things on a dashboard without having to dig for the associated value.

    I'd like to have additional visual filter options for the big number widget configuration to drive the background color of the widget:

    Red value expression

    Amber value expression

    Otherwise Green or default background color.

    Would like to add my vote for this as well.  I just had a phone call with one of LM's reps and when I mentioned this, he said they've had several internal requests for this as well.  Sure would make my NOC screen more visually impactful.

    I've submitted this in other avenues, but completely agree about changing colors based on the value giving us a quick visual look at if there's a problem with the value. Also adding an additional arrow for the trend (I.e. is it trending steady, up, or down)
