Description

On nodes with many tablets, the web UI is...not great. There are several pages that display something for each tablet, and those pages become unwieldy with thousands of tablets. We should look into either:

1. Removing those pages (if they aren't adding value, or
2. Collapsing the data and making it expandable/searchable, or
3. Exposing the same data in a different way (i.e. perhaps it'd be more relevant if aggregated anyway).
