Hellooo! 

I’m Sarah, one of the PMs over the UIv4 experience. Like Stuart said - we have some upgraded experiences in UIv4. You can create device-level dashboards via an AppliesTo, so it makes it easier to build out views with the specific datapoints you want.

Additionally, you can pin graphs on the Overview tab of a device. There’s a bar at the bottom of the screen that let’s you customize what graphs you want to see that stay pinned so you can reference them whenever.

But on top of that - we’re trying to figure out how to improve the Info tab and graphs experience in UIv4. I’d be curious to know:
1. How many properties are y’all interested in pinning - is it just a handful (like ~5) or more? Would this be applicable to all resources or just a subset?
2. What other types of information would you be interested in seeing on the Overview tab?
3. At what level would you want to see “pinned” information? At the group, device, datasource…. or just all levels?

I’m also always happy to schedule a quick 1:1 session as well with whoever wants to chat. 

  1.  This would probably vary by device type honestly. I’m looking for pretty basic information like IP address, make/model, software/OS version, etc. I know I can filter them but I will never remember what the property names are so this won’t work for me.
  2. The graph data is useful but I really need tabular data of my choosing as well. If this is truly an overview, having the basic info I’m looking for to be pinned from the info tab would need to be on here. Generally having more of the dashboard widgets available at for this tab in some form would be great. I also would prefer to have an uptime widget that doesn’t use up so much space as well.
  3. When I have an instance selected, I already can’t tell which properties are for the instance and which are for the resource it belongs to at a quick glance. Having pinning would be good at all levels. For me, have some visual distinction would make the information much more accessible.
