    support alerts based on low metrics

    The plugin metadata supports "up = good?" but when creating Peak and Plateau alerts you can only choose a Max Value not a Min Value. If "up = good?" and thus "down = bad" I would like to be able to alert on low values such as:
    low # of… more

    allow alert messages to easily be individually deleted

    Put a little x next to each alert message, so they can be individually deleted without having to go to the server settings page to delete them (and where you have to guess which is which).

    Add ability to tag events so you can see them on a graph

    For example, "added social networking", which attaches to a date/time...you could then overlay these on a graph.

    Twitter Integration

    I start following @scoutapp. Because I'm following @scoutapp, it can send me direct messages. I tell Scout my twitter handle. Whenever Scout has an alert, you could send a direct message to my twitter handles with the alert summary and a shortened URL to the alert.

    You've also allowed a… more

    Finer grained weekly report charts

    For a weekly report chart, it seems only 4 points are sampled per day (data rolled up into 6-hour segments). Would be great to have finer grained graphs as they will be more useful than the current weekly reports.

    improve the URL monitoring plugin

    I find that the URL monitoring plugin gives a lot of false positives, which is stressing me out. I've disabled it for now. I'm not sure why it's doing this and happy to help you debug it.

    Use bundler to manage plugin depencies

    Moving a plugin that has gem dependencies is a pain. I need to go install the plugin manually (or make changes in puppet) to make everything happy. If the Scout agent used Bundler for dependency management, the required gems could be installed automatically.

    Chart title should be displayed in fullscreen=true view

    When you display a chart fullscreen the time range is visible, but the line immediately above, with the title, is not. This is quite inconvenient. Our use case is a script to display a sequence of Scout charts in a loop on an overhead monitor -- chart titles are the… more

    Make server profiles first class citizens

    Right now you have 'cloud server' functionality. IE if I have multiple machines that are for all intents and purposes the same new ones will get the same plugins when they boot. However once they are created they act like separate systems.

    I propose the creation of system profiles, that… more

    Make actions on triggers

    It would be great if triggers would trigger actions.

    For example mongrel for any following triggers - mongrel restart action is triggered.
    - response time > 30 sec
    - swap % > 0

    campfire notifications

    Hi there,
    it would be nice to have campfire +mail notifications. Some alerts don't worse a mail, and some are only important when they occur, not later.
    Thanks !

    Charts - add the ability to specify the min/max of the y-axis

    Sometimes one outlier metric forces a large y-coordinate value (for example, load is at 0.01,0.10,0.08,100,0.10) and you can't see the variations in the other data points.

    Create alert recipient groups featues

    It would be great if you created "alert recipient groups". for example, I add admin1 and admin2 to the "Admins" group. Then from there every alert I create I set the "group" that should be alerted not just the individual.

    Have scout agent also try to connect via IP address

    There are times that DNS is unavailable that it would be nice if the agent would fall back and try to connect to the server via IP address.

    It would reduce the chances of transient errors giving the wrong alerts.

    Add centralized management for accounts

    My email address is tied to multiple scout accounts right now and the only way to keep track of them is to have bookmarks for each each URL (ie: scoutapp.com/mycompany).

    It would be great if there was a list of the accounts that my email address is tied to somewhere… more

    Clone the great features from Graphite.

    Graphite seems like a superset of your existing charting. E.g. Its ability to show deviance from norms would be very useful.
