ESS and Spectrum Scale GUI display min/max performance statistics

Clients have a meeting with Markus R. for the feedback on the GUI, statistics charting and REST interface on Feb 13, 2020. One key requirement is to display the aggregation of performance statistics to track spikes by
keeping min/max values and not only averages over time.

    Here are the details of the requirements submitted by the customer

    Max and Min network usage of cluster at io node as well as aggregate level without averaging. We understand this is costly operation hence we would like this feature activated on a need basis during an incident.

    Max and Min values within the interval of averaging should be recorded as history to analyze and come up with cluster network requirements based on our workload increase. I have attached a sample chart typically used in stock charts as an example.
