option for duplicating hosts

[leonardo_gyn]

I know there are already client command lines that make life easier for somethings ....

but i was thinking in having a GUI option, on the Devices screen, to allow me to duplicate a host. All graphs and data queries would be duplicated and automatically created.

of course duplicating wouldnt make sense when dealing with different equipments. but for those who are using cacti on big networks, having several devices with pretty same configuration (except IP address) is quite common.

that option of duplicating a host could make life easier on those situations.

of course i can use CLI command lines to make a batch for that .... of course i can create a host template with everything and create a new 'duplicated' host in some few clicks .... but sometimes i just want an EXACTLY duplicated host, and that option could make things easier.

and i'm pretty sure to other cacti users too

This is currently not on the list.
088 will make more use of host templates in a way, that the host template (may) define each parameter of a host except for description and hostname.
Automatically creating all required graphs is a goal of the Autom8 plugin.
