Allow colorized grouping of services

[Docjones]

I would like to request a springbootadmin feature to group services belonging together on a buisness case base by adding them to the same "group" i.e. using a property like spring.boot.admin.client.group=<groupname-string>

services sharing the same groupname are being colored with the same color and perhaps are rendered in the wallboard next to each other.

Sounds nice! Do you wanna go for a PR?
We should add this information in the metadata so the solution works for spring cloud discovery as well

I am sorry - but i consider myself not skilled enough to contribute. Sorry...

Hi @joshiste - could I go for a PR? Do I need to have this issue assigned to me or should I just go for it and create a PR? Thanks a lot :)

[joshiste]

@antmordel just go for it.

@antmordel Kindly asking if you have gotten any results for this feature?

I don't know if this is still going ahead, but what would be a great addition is to be able to group instances by metadata tags, and maybe version. We have a pretty hybrid environment and use tags a lot to differentiate different technologies, deployments, and so on. It would be helpful to be able to group the services according to these tags.

Unfortunately, there is no progress on this request. Still, i am not skilled enough to fulfill it.

Is that PR accepted?

I think parts are implemented, but not coloring. You can group services, see "group" property here: http://docs.spring-boot-admin.com/current/server.html

We added an example to our runtime playground.

Currently, grouping is only possible in the application list, but we are working on the wallboard as well.
