Dynamic Dashboards

Hi,

I need to monitor CPU and Memory for a bunch of various groups of servers.  Currently, I believe the only way to do this on a dashboard is to make a new dashboard for each group of machines and hard code them via Group or Glob expression.  If I have 20 pairs of servers, this means I need 20 dashboards.

I should be able to make one Generic Dashboard with the items I want, and then have a dropdown list or glob field or something at the top of the screen where the user can pick or enter which servers they want to see in the dashboard.  The whole dashboard should then update.  Make another simple change and the whole thing should update again.

Assuming this isn't possible now, since Support told me it wasn't, please add this to the list.

      OK. I think I figured out how to make it work.  Strange that system.name can't be used but system.displayname can.  Anyway, is there a way to copy a set of filters from one dashboard and paste them onto another?  Or is it best to clone the first one and recreate the other ones?

    Basically, similar to how I can create a dashboard using tokens, but have the ability to edit the token on the dashboard itself instead of having to go Manage, Edit, Type, Apply, Save, etc to update the info.  Sometime more user friendly for people viewing the information but not maintaining the dashboards themselves.
