I'm not really sure where to put this as there really isn't any publicly viewable feedback on apps anymore (is a public discussion about a splunk supported inappropriate for answers.spk?)
We've been playing with the v5.0 version of this app and it seems as if the entire direction of what the app was designed for has changed. From originally unix sys admin focus to a more higher level 'overview' audience?
Perhaps its just the change in the way that the data is displayed (dots vs stock line timechart) but it seems that its actually made it harder to understand what is going on. You can see what is broken at a glance if you've used the colors but its hard to make direct comparisons between machines within your categories/groups.

I can understand that quite a few of the dashboard options have just been combined into dropdowns (which is good for reducing the number of overall dashboards). I'm pretty sure this could have been done to the v4 version also.
Just wondering what other system admins think of this change.
As it stands I can't see our clients wanting to replace the v4 version entirely with this as functionality is lost. Instead I can envision some sort of hybrid mix of the two.
