Need a help

Hi!

Is there a way to dynamically check for and ultimately select a subtree based on a HOST field?

Example: Existing Tree Structure:

Customers -
{123456} - Example Customer
Routers -
Host: blah
Switches -

A new device is added with the following description and notes:
Host Description: 123456-2950S-1

I would like to be able to check if the NODE 123456 is present and if so, add the new host under the appropriate SUB. Putting it in the right place isn't too bad but I haven't seen where it is possible to check for the existence of a sub-tree item.

Thanks!

Currently, no. Because the device can be added to more than one location in a tree at the same time. You could add it as an enhancement request on GitHub but we'd probably have to make that select the first one found which may not be the one you expect.

It would be simple to write though. 20 minutes work and maybe a redirect in the end. Something like:

https://mysite.com/cacti/graph_view.php ... tion:12345}

Pass it a JSON array and it redirects with a special flag to open the found leaf and select device.
