The groups system exists simply because it was a relatively
"quick win" by re-using the alerting system's association code.
I'm not entirely sure what I would expect it to be used for. I
didn't really get that far!
I had started adding group filtering abilities to the device
and ports pages, which sort of does part of what you want,
especially if it was expanded to other entity types.
Having fully customisable pages is still something I really
have no idea how to do, but I think we *should* do, somehow.

What is the intention of the groups
feature? It seems like a really powerful way to group stuff
together and have interesting views of things. But right now
it just generates a list of entities that you can click
through or hover over. I took a look at the code that
generates all the various graph layouts (iftypes, health,
ports). It seems that every page has its own code for
handling the graph layout. It seem like this would be a
great place to leverage a bunch of the existing code so you
can create group specific views of sensors, ports etc... But
it doesn't look like the code is structured that way (i.e
reusable components/widgets).
The standard views are good, but I want to be able to
see them on a per datacenter/region basis rather than
globally. The global view is visually interesting/pretty
it is less useful.
