I would like us to provide an instant filter/switch at the top of the "Status report" page at admin/reports/status, so that when viewed by various roles/personas, entries can be filtered to their respective field/focus/role/task-at-hand. Looking at the current list of options, I am suggesting the following categories:

  1. Security & performance:
    • Access to update.php
    • Backdrop CMS update notifications
    • Backdrop CMS update status
    • Cron maintenance tasks
    • File system
    • Node Access Permissions
    • PHP memory limit
    • Trusted Host Settings
  2. Developer information:
    • Backdrop CMS (version)
    • MySQL Database (version)
    • MySQL Database 4-byte UTF-8 support
    • Pending database updates
    • jQuery
    • PHP (version)
    • PHP extensions
    • PHP register globals
    • Display error messages
    • Web server (version)
    • GD library rotate and desaturate effects
    • Unicode library
  3. Miscellaneous (or something else, like "Generic" or "Features")
    • Telemetry
    • Upload progress

Perhaps we could make this work in a tag-based manner, so that multiple categories can be assigned to each entry. That would allow showing certain entries in multiple filters (for more than one persona). For instance, things like the following (from the list above) may be of interest to both a "developer" or "system admin" persona, as well as a "security officer" persona: - MySQL Database (version) - PHP (version) - Web server (version) These reports will be of different use for a developer (compatibility/features that each version brings) than for a security auditor (any potentially insecure versions in use, with known vulnerability issues).
