Description:
The MEM GUI has a simple simple tree structure that is limited in depth and is not suited to scaling monitoring up to of hundreds of servers. The grouping of servers only allows one level in the tree and when scaled to hundreds of servers, this becomes very difficult to manage easily.

"search through servers" and "multi-level grouping".

How to repeat:
Start add a couple of hundred of database instances to be monitored in MEM 

Suggested fix:
There are two possible starting option to help out here, but certainly not the only suggestions:

1. The use of a "search through servers" capability to quickly access the server in the tree. This could be in the form of a simple search box to filter the server tree being displayed.

2. Have some form of multi-level grouping capability. This would allow for more groupings based on general categories, location, data centre etc.
