Hide empty graphs

Post by Sgurd »

I work at a small college.
Most dorms have 2 wired connections per room, but most students use wireless.
Some switches have as many as 144 ports.
Cacti is polling every interface, as I never know when someone will start using a wired port.
If only 10% of the ports are being used, why wait for cacti to draw the 130 graphs with no data?

I like the thumbnails checkbox and graphs per page option.

Perhaps a 'skip' or 'hide' or 'don't display' empty graphs could improve page load times as well.

Clue me in if I'm simply doing something incorrectly.

Thanks! - JD

Cacti 087d now allows for filtering. But filters are set on text only. Currently it is not possible to filter on graph results.
And the fact, that a graph is "empty" depends on timespan for that graph. So you're saying the the graph is "completely" empty, it should be skipped?

No, not just completely empty graphs:
  • Hidden if there was 0 traffic on the interface graph during the selected timespan
    Displayed if there was traffic on the interface during the selected timespan.

This would be Traffic specific and not applicable to any other graph type. But please feel free to create a new feature request. In fact, this was already discussed from time to time; without any generic solution until now

Did anything ever come of this feature request?

This would be extremely useful.

Thank you =)
