Hi,

Has there been any discussion in or around adding a "Select All" checkbox
to the Stats dashboard to help administrators action a bunch of servers
quickly (e.g., to mark all the nodes in a backend as being in maintenance).
I've had a look at stats.c and it does look like it could be relatively
straightforward to add (I've wrote the patch already). The only downside
would be the inclusion of a small bit of inline Javascript that would tick
all the individual checkboxes when the "Select All" checkbox is selected.
In total, there are no new lines of code, just a few modifications to 2
lines of existing code in stats.c.

I notice that presently, the stats page does not contain any Javascript and
that is a good thing! However, perhaps a small exception can be made for
this specific purpose?

For clarity, this is only to affect nodes contained within a backend, not
all nodes across all backends :-)

>From the patch I've wrote and from internal feedback, our admins like it
since it's now very quick to apply changes.

Happy for thoughts on this :-)

Thank you
