Welcome to the BrightGauge Enhancement Forums

I was just informed that when using the Products dataset "Only products updated in the last 24 months will be represented." and "we focus on products that are actively being used. This means that we only include products that are associated with a ticket, agreement, or sales order"

This makes no sense to me. I'm looking to create a snapshot gauge so I can see at a glance how many products I have, and see the same data by category and subcategory, so we can keep the product catalog clean. Since this dataset does not include all the products in the product catalog (not even all the active ones) it would be incomplete.

We have over 30 pages of gauges and 10 people across the organization that are creating gauges (Leadership, Directors, Managers). I can guarantee that there are duplicated gauges and gauges that were created years ago that haven't been used. 

I know I can filter by unused as well as last updated but that doesn't give the full picture. It could have been last modified and last used a week ago. 

I want to be able to filter based off last maintained AND last used (on a Dashboard/Report/Goal) was 6+ months ago. Having a last used field that would be updated daily would be beneficial. 

I submitted a support request and was informed the following: 

'Notes' field is not available in the API endpoints we currently use in BrightGauge. Unfortunately, we are unable to report on the OS Type, OS Info, and Last Login Name fields with the Cloud integration at this time. The data we pull regarding configuration details does not include these OS fields, so we cannot add them to the dataset(s).

It would be great that I could pull the data point as our clients are requesting those data points.

I would like to see the ability to directly download dashboard templates featured by other companies instead of having to reference the buildout key and having to build them manually. This would save a massive amount of time and allow for quicker modifications as needed.

We would like to be able to format the X- or Y-Axis in our chart graph gauges to match the Dataset design - if it's set as a % or $, to be able to format the axis to be the same.  For example currently, if we are using a % for data across a period of time, we have a 0 to 1 scale on the Y-axis and the time on the X-Axis.  This causes some confusion for clients or colleagues who may be viewing the gauge.

The Invoice Data dataset contains fields like updated_by and adjusted_by, but not created_by, which seems like a big oversight. We need to be able to report on who created invoices, and the workaround we've been given is to create a custom field, which would rely on someone manually setting that every time they create an invoice.

We believe there is a current security and compliance issue with the unlimited retention of reports in the "Sent" reports section. There is no way to automate their deletion after a given time, and no way for BrightGauge support to do it in our behalf. The only method we have found is to manually sort the "Sent" reports in ascending order by age, select all (applies ONLY to the current page), delete, repeat... This is unmanageable, and even if we use a macro recorder to complete the task, we still have to manually set it to run and then watch it to make sure it doesn't delete files inside our chosen retention time.

The reports page currently has very limited sorting and search functions. While these features are being enhanced could we please get an option to export the data on the page? We can then work with the data in excel to find what we are looking for.

Examples:

• Hard to find customers when there are hundreds for reports.
• Counting reports when they fail to generate.

I would like the ability to have a gauge that would show which/how many servers have blocked patches. As we get into a more security focused world, some of our clients would like to know what servers did not have patches applied due to being blocked.
