Specific sort of graphs in a tree view

Post by ymartin59 »

Hello,
I would like to propose an additional sort method of graphs in a tree view.
Suppose a function provides a numeric value per graph and the graphs listed in a tree branch are sorted according to this value (increase or decrease).
For instance, it enables to sort CPU graphs in a tree branch according to CPU consumption. In that case, the function for CPU DS will provide a numeric value of CPU consumption over last hour for each device and the result is used to ordered graphs in the list.

Another feature is to limit the number of listed graphs in such a sorted tree branch. So it enables to create a "Top 5 CPU consumption" over a large group of devices. Of course, such a feature needs additional facilities to add many graphs from different devices in a tree.

These ideas come from 'vmktree', a tool that display graphs for VMware ESX VM.

What do you think about it ?
