Hi Stuart,
You make some good suggestions. We've heard some of these from other customers as well and they are certainly on our long term roadmap. I'd love to better learn about your use cases to help prioritize -- I will email you offline to set up a time.
As far as the bugs you encountered (such as sizing/rendering issues), please do submit them via support@splunk.com if you haven't already so we can take care of them asap.
I recognize that Splunk is not a fully featured reporting tool, nor was it intended to be. Reporting is just one of many things we do, and while some customers are perfectly happy with our current, relatively simple implementation, we do have customers that demand more. Several, as the previous commenter suggested, have integrated with other reporting packages/UIs (such as Google charts) either via scripts or our REST API with great success.
Thanks,
Gaurav Gupta (Dir. of Product Mgmt at Splunk)
