Agree! We've been doing a lot of work to standardize our DataPoint names as a workaround to not having a category attribute. For example, we would like to categorize all "database" data points, regardless of data source, as database data points. Same for file system data points, regardless of platform OS. We use different middleware solutions, some COTS, some in house, and we'd like to categorize all middleware alerts as such.
It would then be awesome to be able to create alerts rules based on the categorization, i.e. all "file system" alerts go to the File System and Storage team, all "database" alerts go to the databases team.
This Category attribute of alerts should also be available as a column in the Alert Widget table.
