[Feat]: Enhancements to the charts on the Nodes tab
Problem
With the recent work done on the Nodes tab (https://github.com/netdata/cloud-frontend/issues/36239) we have:
- some information was removed, e.g. chart title,
- exposed that we can't specify specific instances (chart ids) and/or chart labels to select what data we want to display or not display, maybe even change the group by options
- improving the experience by allowing users to expand the chart and/or navigate to the specific chart
Description
On the Nodes tab I would like to:
- have an option to see the minimized view (without charts per node) as well - have a toggle between that view and this new having gauges or instead of charts
- when a node doesn’t have a chart that’s selected to be displayed we display a greyed out box, but we don’t say which chart that is. this is troublesome when metric selected isn’t present in any node, is not easy for the user to know which metrics are selected (metrics cog) and the columns displayed --> we should still show a context namex/title Could we at least have a placeholder for the name of selected metrics? is it possible, or are we using chart id returned by BE to create this lis
- have the flexibility to decide what data do display on each chart by defining either the instances (chart ids) or using chart labels to filter the data I want to see
- be able to click on an "Expand" button to see the full sized chart
- be able to click on a "Go to chart" button to go to the overview screen with the specific node filtered and scrolled to that specific chart --> idea is to direct users to Single Node view once this is done https://github.com/netdata/netdata-cloud/issues/278
- have the titles of the charts instead of context name (maybe to show on tooltip or info)
- have search/filtering capabilities - global filter side panel with common filtering capabilities
Importance
must have
Value proposition
This ticket is capturing multiple enhancements, this potentially will need to be broken down to smaller chunks
Proposed implementation
No response

Regarding the search bar, I would suggest to follow the discussed standard - global filter side panel with common filtering capabilities
I was more into search bar at the top but right side would work too
this is covering this one https://github.com/netdata/netdata-cloud/issues/560
