Description:
Hi,

Below are some Feature Requests which greatly enhance the information displayed in the Settings -> Manage Servers tabs. 

1. Enable the visualisation of the OS in the Settings -> Manage Servers page -> This information is found in the server metadata on the monitor page. Being able to see this for all the monitored servers allows for better/quicker decisions regarding upgrades 

2. Enable the ability to show or hide columns on this page so that the user can decide what he wants to see and what is most appropriate
This would prevent excess and/or redundant information from taking up lots of space, making interpretation harder. 

3. Less important but also useful would be the ability to configure the formatting of the timestamp columns as the value which comes from the Locale setting may not actually be what I want to use. (I prefer SQL format 2010-10-18 10:00:01 rather than the US or UK Locale formatting of these values.)

How to repeat:
View the Settings -> Manage Servers page

Suggested fix:
See description.

     - Added new "operating system" column, which shows the "os_description"
     - Added filter control for regex/contains filtering, as versions are not strictly numeric

Also merged to trunk.
