General group alert thresholds should have the option of selecting aggregation or individual object

We require an alert definition for a specific scenario.

The alert should trigger when the cumulative write data rate of HyperSwap volumes exceeds 2000MB/s.

We cannot set the alert on the Pool component because the pool also contains non-HyperSwap volumes.

The solution that was provided, was to create a general group and add all the HyperSwap volumes to the group and set the alert definition on the group.

However this alert does NOT trigger based on the cumulative write data rate of all the volumes in the group, it only triggers if one or more individual volumes in the group exceeds the threshold. So it does not work for our specific use case.

A solution would be to add an enhancement for the General Group alert definitions, so that a client could select whether they want the threshold to apply to the group aggregate or for individual objects in the group.
