Graph Tree / Multi Graph Select When Adding To Header

Post by h1d3m3 »

Please Please Please..

Console -> Graph Trees -> (Edit) -> Graph Tree Items

When you select graphs, a single select drop down box appears that lets you select one graph you want to add to the tree. Works great when you are adding one graph under a header, but *very* often i have 5-10 graphs I want to add to the header (out of dozens of graphs available).

Please make this a multi-select list? So instead of find header, select graph, save, go back, find header, find new graph , etc...just find all graphs that I need, hit save and they are on the tree in one shot.

You can do this from Graph Management today. Just can't do it for hosts (yet).

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Really? I don't see a multi-select list anywhere in cacti. Having the ability to select multiple (specific) graphs to add to a tree is where I would find the most benefit.

Ah! I see what you mean. It's an action of graph management. That is not as useful as what I was suggesting. It seems that I can only "action" multiple graphs onto the root level of a tree. Then I have to move them all to the right leaf? I think it would be easier to just select the graphs from the leaf. Also, you're right...if you have 10 graphs across 10 hosts, this becomes a problem.

You can select multiple graphs and then add then as one to whatever leaf you require. Fiddle with the pull downs once you start the process and you will get the picture.
