Filter widget based on datapoint values

Hi,

I suppose following on from my other message about combining CPU and memory in the same table widget, can these widgets be filtered - not dynamic/on demand but statically?

Take this example - can I have another table that only shows, for example, resources whose CPU OR Memory OR Uptime is beyond a certain threshold, e.g. ‘where CPU > X OR Memory > Y OR Uptime > Z’

Then expanding on that, I’m aiming for a dedicated dashboard highlighting ‘at risk’ or ‘concerning’ resources, so ideally this filter could be done at the dashboard level (e.g. with a ‘filter’ token) resulting in widgets on that dashboard inheriting the filter.

Thanks

    Come up with text that others can copy/paste into the feature request system so we can get more traction behind useful features like this.

    No, there’s no way to do that. The recommended way to accomplish what you’re trying to do is to set thresholds and use an alert list view.

    I have a similar dashboard. First and foremost are a couple of alert list widgets that show the current alerts (they filters are too complex to have in one widget (LM, please come out with alert filtering language like LM Logs)). Then i have big number and table widgets with colorization that matches the thresholds. So i can look at the dashboard and quickly see if there are any alerts and if anything is colored yellow/orange/red. If so, something needs attention. I then put more detailed widgets below the fold so all i have to scroll down to see the details of what is going on.
