Just a thought, would there be any support or perceived need for providing the ability to group multiple data sources by virtue of their use? For example, taking messaging as an example, group all involved data sources under the "banner" of "Messaging" such that a single alert would be generated through Monitor in the event that any of the individual Data Sources breaches a Threshold. This idea is presented from a Service Management rather than Technical perspective.
Any Thoughts?

"Service" seems to specific... We take a very general approach to data sources as to not contrain anyone to a scheme.

Ok maybe I didn't explain very well, I am talking at a general level, the ability to group data sources by whatever criteria you like, for example to group all the boxes that have Red Labels or you could group all the data sources that are involved in messaging into one group so you could at a glance see if there is an issue anywhere within your Red Label "Service" or your messaging "Service", I doubt this would constrain anyone in anyway, more likely it is the kind of information that would provide a quick and easy means of highlighting issues within a system, thoughts?
