Hi, Alexey.

Today I remembered that in my past live I used to have a ktined console showing the statuses of all my servers. The Zabbix's screen looks very close to what I had with tkined (except the dynamic updates :) )

And what I've just thought is that it would be really nice to have the new kind of icons on a map: the mini-graph. Just take a look at tkined sample screen (http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/nm/scotty/gifs/news.gif) and notice those little graphs spawn around. I'd love to place same mini-graphs along of several icons on my map.

See, the idea behind this is very simple: to have a complete visual presentation of what is going on with My Network :)

PS. Those mini-graphs could be done very simple from existing graphs and graphs of data (like you allow to choose when one builds a screen), by decreasing a size to an average icon size (48x48). Do not print anything, do not draw grids, and that is it.

PPS. I have several doubts about the map compilation time with all that stuff included. But you do know those concerns better than me.
