The wiki[1] lists Server as a valid port type. The parser does all the work so that http://observium.ndcls.local/iftype/type=server/ works. All that is needed is a config option and a menu item.

I have a patch that add these two things. However, codekiller brought up a valid point that all you'd have to do is search for server. http://observium.ndcls.local/ports/ifAlias=server/format=list_basic/

This works just as well, for me.

Therefore I ask, do we want a menu link for the server port type?

Yes - I'll provide a patch No - I'll create a wiki account and remove the offending information
