Multiple page Tree View

[Garp]

Many of the devices we monitor with cacti have a couple of hundred interfaces on them. What would be great to have in Cacti would be if the Tree view for the device could be split into several pages, much like the device view is? Currently any time anyone tries to do a Tree view of one of the devices in question they have to sit and wait a while whilst the server executes RRDTool hundreds of times to generate the relevant graphs. That many images inside Firefox ain't pretty either, with its memory usage sky rocketing. Most staff have learnt to use IE to view these pages but its still not great both from their view of how long page loading takes, and my view of how much load it puts on the Cacti server.

Yea, that is a bit of a pain.

I would ask the same for the User Management screen too actually.. We've got a few hundred users and loading that page is a pain

Uhm, "wow"... I was just looking at those "pages" last night...

our solution has been to never use hosts in the treeview and instead break down each host's graphs into sub-headers
yes this is time consuming, but it does work well as it has the exact same effect and its easier to find the graphs you want since you don't have to search through one host entry, but can search through a much smaller sub-header(our people especially love this for the SNR graphs)

we of course have money to throw at this, and before we had any developers(including me), we hired some contractors to create a page to handle this stuff
it does some nice stuff
however, since its not my or even my company's work, I can't release it
course, maybe there already is a script out there to do this
