I am using a custom dashboard to display the status of a performance counter for all my routers. It shows me whether a router has failed over to a backup link or not. If the performance counter value is 5 (green), its normal and if its 1 (red) then its failed over to the cellular link. I have about 100 routers. Its very clumsy and very laborious to create such a dashboard. Needs lots of refinement. I have attached the screenshot of my dashboard and see how ugly it looks.

1. First of all, for 100 routers I have to add widgets for one router at a time, even though they are a part of the same monitoring group and same manufacturer model, and I am using  the same performance counter  for all routers. Who has got time for this?

2. What value its adding in the widget dashboard displaying "Dial Value" word. Neither I can edit, nor I can remove it. Same goes for the word "Units", isn't it the units is obvious why do you have to display it? Dashboard space is precious, use it wisely. Focus here should be the name of the monitor and the performance counter value. That's it, and the name of the performance counter as an option to either display or not based on customer choice.

3. If I have missed a site and then want to add it at a later date, I can add it but it goes at then end. No way I can drag it in a position to rearrange alphabetically. If I drag a panel somewhere up, it pushes all other panels vertically down for one column only, which messes up everything. The desired behaviour should be to push all the panels to the right. If this is not feasible, at least allow user to sort widgets in the dashboard alphabetically by the name of the monitor/widget.

Please apply some logical thinking with the main aim to reduce customer pinpoints and offer flexibility.

My apologies being too critical here, but point me if I am wrong.
