Below are 2 examples where this type of reporting would be useful.
- Instance-based
- There is a datasource that monitors CPU usage by process and the instance name is the name of the Windows process. We need to report on what process name has the highest CPU consumption among a large group of servers. We should be able to do this by running a report and selecting an option to group by instance name
- Property-based
- The Network Interface datasource monitors port throughput. Would be useful to report on the throughput and group by the location property to see which locations have the highest throughput. We should be able to do this by running a report and selecting an option to group by the location property.
- Also would be helpful to give us the option to filter on instance description so we can specify which instances get included in the aggregate calculation.
