Reversable graph template items

Post by macdaddy »

Every time I do a Cacti install I have to reverse the order of the text labels below the graph to put Max on the left and Current on the right. Whenever I don't clients always end up asking me to do that for them because they find the default way confusing. IMHO it is confusing.

We read a book from left to right. The graph builds from left to right with the most current data being on the right. Why then in the text labels do we put the most current data on the left? MRTG graphs and text labels read from left to right as well. It seems more logical to me to switch the labels around, as it apparently does my clients.

Rather than change the default (unless everyone wants to do that) how about adding an option to reverse the order of select graph template items. So for example I could go in and choose the Current, Average and Max items via the checkboxes and then click a button that reverses their order. What would be very helpful too is if it had the option of removing and re-adding the horizontal rule to the correct items. This would be my wishlist item. It would save me about an hour per install if I had this option.

Thanks

Just export the graph template after you have adjusted it to your liking, then import it on new installs.
