Access read only Dashboard directly from URL
Maybe IT can be (partially) achieved by RBAC but we would like to have the possibility to access a read-only version of the dashboard just bij entering a URL. The dashboard should not have a timeout. this way we can put the dashboard on a big screen (and when the possibility of multiple dashboard is enabled) we kan put multiple big screens on our service desk.
Access to this dashboard should be restricted by IP address and/or an URL or something like this.

Allow to create multiple Dashboards
Need option to create more custom Dashboards. Within a Dashboard we need option to segregate tiles into different custom categories\Headings like all tiles of IIS into one area of Dashboard and all SQL into another.

Restrict user access
I want to grant a general user access to Log Search and My Dashboard only. I want to be the administrator of the environment and setup the dashboards for them, but I do not want them to be able to browse all solutions, or be able to add/remove solutions, or make any changes to the dashboards. If things need added/removed/modified then those requests should be funneled to me, the admin.
I'm also interested in displaying the My Dashboard solution on a big screen as suggested in:

Live graph in dashboard
Will it be possible to add a live graph in the dashboard to monitor etc % of memory usage and/or diskspace on a given server and not have to have the bars?

Performance Tile in My Dashboard
When putting a tile of Performance type onto My Dashboard, I'd rather see performance value/values/avg on tile rather than number of logs gathered.

Allow to export an Intelligence Pack bundle that contains a collection of Saved Queries and Dashboards
Allow to export an Intelligence Pack bundle file format that contains a collection of Saved Queries and Dashboards.
This would allow prototyping/authoring in one account and moving the 'production' settings to another one, and/or share with coworkers and the community.This is similar to what Operations Manager had in 'Management Packs', but initially focused on visualization. These simple packs/bundles would declare what type of data the depend on - i.e. you need to have another intelligence pack or have configured a certain log collection beforehand to see these packs light up in your environment, once imported.

MyDashboard improvements
Dasgboard is lacking widget/tile types.
Please add at least: piechart, stacked area graph, ability to change scale on tile (the same as in Search).
In addition would be usefull to have categories under MyDashboard, would be very useful for TV screens where we can select different categories/dashboards to display.8 votesHave a look at the view designer and let us know what you think.

Data not showing up
I registered an Azure VM with OMS, and the portal indicates that I have a single data source connected to OMS, but there is no data from it, for the past 12 hours. How can I ensure that data is getting passed from the Azure VM up to OMS properly?

Customize tiles on Overview page
Customize tiles on Overview page
3 votesWith our integration into Azure, you can now pin Management Solutions to an Azure Dashboard however you want. We have also enabled the ability to filter Management Solutions via a filter box at the top left of the overview.
We have no current plans to enable reordering solutions in the Classic OMS Portal. (mms.microsoft.com)

Generate an alert based on the value in the aggregated results instead of just number of results
For alerts, and for coloring tiles in the dashboard, it is often not the number of results that is relevant, rather it is the aggregated values themselves. I want to be able to generate an alert, or color the bars, based on the aggregated result exceeding a value, not on the number of results.
3 votesRaw metrics are now searchable in log analytics, which allows you to create alerts:

accesslog
get linux access logs or error logs
1 voteWe have added the ability for the OMS Agent for Linux to consume custom logs that can include Apache Access and Error logs. Additionally, as part of the OMS Agent for Linux we include sample configuration that can be loaded for apache access and error logs. https://github.com/Microsoft/OMS-Agent-for-Linux/blob/master/installer/conf/omsagent.d/apache_logs.conf

Just a thought.
I would like to see the OMS portal work every time that I log in. If there are going to be periods of downtime, I would like to know so that I do not look like an idiot during live demos.

Display path to current page
Provide a Navigation path for every window/pane that opens. Main > next > next2, etc. Allow one to switch back to any of the previous panes.
1 voteWhen viewing a solution dashboard the locations listed at the top of the page are clickable, allowing you to navigate to the previous page (typically the Overview, unless the solution has sub pages).
