per-graph captions

[ehall]

Lots of graph template data allows for local overrides. Can we get this same functionality for some of the individual elements? In particular, I need to be able to define per-graph caption text, because the descriptions associated with different kinds of monitored resources can vary between systems. For example, here is the output from four different kinds of IPMI management cards:

I am using a script to normalize the data (relabeling the data "Voltage1" and so forth), but I would like to apply meaningful labels to the graphs, and this requires per-graph overrides.

[side-note: an earlier request asked for per-graph colors, but in a different context, so this might be best considered as a request for generalized per-graph overrides]

[TheWitness]

For your template, just allow overrides of the Graph Title. Then you have complete control. This request needs to be moved to general, because the feature is already there.

I'm not asking about the main title, which indeed supports per-graph flagging already. Instead I am talking about the per-element "Text Format" field (where the caption text is defined). I don't see any option to change this on a per-graph basis, regardless of whether or not the per-graph title flag is set.

"|query_<variable>|" stuff doesn't work either, since script/command data sources don't use those (they use ordered inputs for the outputs).

Moving back to features :|
