Display Multiple Graphs

[zjerryj]

Hi,

How to display all (or selected) graphs of a host in one page? I know there is Screen, but if I have 500 hosts, does it mean I need to create 500 screens?

The reason is, for example, cpu load is high, and I want to compare it to disk utils. In cacti, they all show in the same page, but in zabbix I have to select another graph, especially it's a dropdown list, so that I can't open it in a new window (by middle clicking, etc).

Also, is it possible to support tree mode in screens? Or it's just a bad idea?

Thanks.

You would want to use a screen of graphs, and for each graph, be sure to set it as "Dynamic". This will allow you to have a dropdown list of servers to pick from that will populate data into the graphs.

I basically create a dynamic screen for each platform that I monitor. I name the screens "Dynamic Windows servers", Dynamic Linux Servers", etc

You base the screen from one default host, so use one that is reliable and has high availability. You only want to include items that are common across the platform, such as CPU, memory, swap, etc. If an item is unique, such as an interface that is named "HP2315MultiPort", you wouldn't include that as it probably is not common to all your servers.
