If you look in the details tab you'll see there is a dropdown list underneath the section to specify the filter. From memory this lists "filter-spec" files that are stored in a particular directory for nfsen. I have not yet used this, but the point is so that you just select an often-used filter from the dropdown, rather than having to type it in repeatedly. This could be used my <some script> writing out the "filter file" and then your NOC select it from the dropdown. The only thing (I assume) you'd still have to do would be to select the relevant sources aswell. Probably not the most elegant way, but it may do what you want, if all you want is "nfdump output via web" rather than needing the graphs.
