VM Monitoring interface improvements

:package: What Changed

We’ve relocated the network interface, disk, and mount path filters from the global header to their respective chart containers.

:puzzle_piece: The problem we solved

Previously, selecting filters for network interfaces, disks, or mount paths was confusing because:

  • These filters sat alongside the “All Steps” filter in the global header but were not relevant for all charts.
  • It wasn’t clear which charts each filter affected.
  • Changing a specific filter (e.g., network interface) would trigger a reload of all charts, even though it only affected one chart.

:check_box_with_check: The solution

  • Each specialised filter now appears directly in its relevant chart container
  • Network interface filter → Only appears in the Network Usage chart
  • Disk filter → Only appears in the Disk Space Usage chart
  • Mount path filter → Only appears in its dedicated chart

:+1: Small but functional improvements

  • When you select a filter option, only the relevant chart reloads - not the entire dashboard
  • Default selections are automatically sorted by relevance
  • The confusing sticky header for selections has been removed
  • The UI is now more intuitive for both new and experienced users

:guide_dog: When to use it

This improvement is particularly helpful when you need to:

  • Monitor performance of specific network interfaces without disrupting other metrics
  • Track disk space usage for particular disks
  • Focus on specific mount paths
