11 Graph prototype
Overview
In the graph prototype widget, you can display a grid of graphs created from either a graph prototype or an item prototype by low-level discovery.
Configuration
To configure, select Graph prototype as widget type:
In addition to the parameters that are common for all widgets, you may set the following specific options:
| Source | Select the source of the graphs: Graph prototype or Simple graph prototype. |
| Graph prototype | Select a graph prototype to display graphs discovered by the graph prototype. This parameter is available if Source is set to "Graph prototype". |
| Item prototype | Select an item prototype to display simple graphs for items discovered by the item prototype. This parameter is available if Source is set to "Simple graph prototype". |
| Time period | Set a time period for which to display data in the graphs. Select the data source for the time period: Dashboard - set the Time period selector as the data source; Widget - set a compatible widget specified in the Widget parameter as the data source; Custom - set the time period specified in the From and To parameters as the data source; if set, a clock icon will be displayed in the top right corner of the widget, indicating the set time on mouseover. |
| Widget | Enter or select a compatible widget as the data source for the time period. This parameter is available if Time period is set to "Widget". |
| From | Enter or select the start of the time period. Relative time syntax ( now, now/d, now/w-1w, etc.) is supported.This parameter is available if Time period is set to "Custom". |
| To | Enter or select the end of the time period. Relative time syntax ( now, now/d, now/w-1w, etc.) is supported.This parameter is available if Time period is set to "Custom". |
| Show legend | Unmark this checkbox to hide the legend on the graphs (marked by default). |
| Override host | Select a compatible widget or the dashboard as the data source for hosts. This parameter is not available when configuring the widget on a template dashboard. |
| Columns | Enter the number of columns of graphs to display within a graph prototype widget. |
| Rows | Enter the number of rows of graphs to display within a graph prototype widget. |
While the Columns and Rows parameters allow fitting more than one graph in the widget, there still may be more discovered graphs than there are columns/rows in the widget. In this case, paging becomes available in the widget, and a slide-up header allows to switch between pages using the left and right arrows:
