Would more filters (e.g. filters for status and units) on the sensor 
page be a better solution here?

If more filters does not work, feel free to push a prototype to Gerrit 
and we can weight the cons and pros of vue-tables-2 vs bootstrap-vue tables.

We still have concerns about the support of vue-tables-2 and want to 
ensure that no current features break.

The GUI work group meeting on Discord (last Wednesday of each month @ 
10:00 AM CT) might be another good place to discuss this.
