Increase max export rows for RTM

The default maximum number of rows RTM can export to Excel is 50k. It's possible to increase this (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/modify-number-export-rows-you-can-set-rtm-console), but would be nice to have a larger option built into RTM.

Add Effective Memory Utilization to All Statistics Tables

RTM maintains a consistent set of ETL's across multiple dimensions. It is the same table structure for all of these ETL's. However, a key metric is missing from the ETL's and it's the effective memory utilization. In other words sum(max_memory) /s...

allow RTM reporting to export excel data

The Reporting tool in cacti gives the option of sending out periodical usage graphs to users. It would be great to also have the option of including raw CSV data in these reports. The workaround is to log into RTM and manually grab the CSV export,...

Allow RTM to show jobs 'submitted' between ranges from job details page

We are in the middle of a bench-marking activity and it occurred to me that there is now way to say in RTM show me jobs that were submitted between these two dates. It would be helpful to have that filter available.

RTM should be able to properly parse effective and/or combined resource requirements and handle both compound and /task, /host, and /job reservations to determine pending/reserved memory

RTM calculates pending and running memory reservations by parsing the resource requirements string. However, it currently is not properly calculating that memory reservation for either compound resource requirements or with the new per /task, /hos...
