Hi pgordon -- We have a few smaller improvements coming soon: the ability to see historical SDT in alerts reports, and a new "month to date" option for reports, as well as a few bigger improvements planned for reporting later this year. Specifically we are aiming to allow more flexibility in reports through a new report type for metric reporting, and more usability by providing more insight into execution status. Happy to get on a call and go through more details - there is a lot going into that new metrics report type & we'd love your feedback. Just for some additional context, last year much of the improvement on the alerting side was on the backend, to make it easier & faster for us to support new report types, so it may not have been quite as visible but hopefully will speed up the improvements we are making this year.

Thank you for this information.
My issues specifically had a lot to do with having a hard time selecting and using instance level data and properties as well as the formatting of the final report.
I need to be able to report on data for specific network interfaces from a set of devices and this is currently difficult to do. I don't have any control over the order the data is listed in the report, the technicians looking at this with me concluded that this was not possible at the time of troubleshooting.
I can't use instance groups to build the report either.
I'd also really love to see the charts in the reports look more like the ones from the dashboards. As much as I didn't like Solarwinds, their report builder is extremely flexible and customizeable and that was nice.
If someone wants to reach out to me to set up a time for looking at these upcoming features I'm open to it.
