Description:
Under "Events", when I filter, I'd like to be able to filter not just by single rule, but by rule group.  (multiple rules would be nice too, something where the user can select more than one rule, but a rule group would help for starters)

How to repeat:
Click on the "Events" tab.  Use the "Rule" pulldown, note that you can only filter on one rule at a time, and there are headings for the different rule groups.

Suggested fix:
Make the headings for the groups clickable, and search for all events that fall under that rule group.

Alternatively, make the pull-down pop a SELECT box up where the user can select multiple rules.  (To make it snazzy, clicking on the header in the SELECT box would select all the rules in that group.  That way a user could SHIFT-click and CTRL-click their way to a custom filter).

(just an update to put in the version and OS)

This should be supported in the UI already, just select and advisor and keep the rule dropdown at all rules. However, I receive an error when doing this in the current build.

C:\dev\merlin-1.0\trunk\gui\php\lib\Merlin\View\Events\index.php(87): __error_handler(8, 'Undefined index...', 'C:\dev\merlin-1...', 87, Array)

Ah, I see that it is there, under "Advisors".  That's pretty unclear.  Perhaps change the header to "Advisor:  Replication" instead of "Replication" ??

Joshua,

For what it's worth, I had no errors when filtered by "Advisor" in my version of mysqlnetwork.

I definitely suggest a stronger association that Advisor=Rule Group

The reported error only occurs when attempting to filter on an advisor that has no rules. It appears that our expected set of advisors has been hard coded for the advisor dropdown. I will only populate this dropdown with found advisors.

Regarding the rename of this dropdown, I will escalate for a decision on that one.

Advisors on these page function as filter "categories". With current time limits and html controls, will try to address by making labels and dropdown options more clear

Patch in review that addresses labeling and stability prior to advisor bundle install.

committed

Verified the specified changes in build 7.16.
