Is it just me or is it just not possible to add interface properties to the table widgets?I was really excited hearing that we could now get properties listed on a table on a dashboard, but when I tried to do so, it seems that that didn't include instance properties. I've also noticed I can't select interface properties in reports either. I know I can go to the resource directly and look at the list but I don't understand why there would be a limitation on referencing these properties on the dashboard (or in a report).

I noticed the same thing, it does say resource properties so I assume Instance properties are not currently supported. Will submit feedback for that improvement and suggest others that want that, do also.

I believe it came with this update https://www.logicmonitor.com/release-notes/v-204-release-notesI don't love the way they work, you have to add at least one datapoint first in order to add properties, but it's a start I suppose

Still couldn't get the email to work, but my CSM came through with a backdoor link. Watched the video but I'm not impressed. I know they want to keep the tone upbeat and not ever admit to ever doing anything wrong, but new features are not what I want. I want the existing features to work. Most of what they showed is old, by months or even a year.

I really want to use the properties in tables charts etc ... Idk why this is such a difficult thing to deliver but instead we have to pull stuff into a different DB and run stuff through PowerBI....

  I found out about it from Sarah's "Accelerate to UIv4" LM Elevate session. Worth watching for those that haven't been fully watching (or avoiding) UIv4.

This has been something I've been really wanting to be able to do is create dashboards using properties...
There appears to be a "Resource Property" instead of "Datapoints" that can be selected but it's greyed out in both my live and sandbox environments.

  yes I did notice that as well. I would take using the instance groups too, those are pretty useless to me at the moment as well. Lack of support to do certain reporting like this with instances has been a huge pain point for me, I don't understand why it's even an issue. It was so easy to do in our previous monitoring solution (Solarwinds).

Yes I used instance and interface interchangeably, I suppose I mean instance but I am working with interfaces in particular at the moment
