Multiple graphs??

[Noobz]

If we are experiencing a network issue, it would be very helpful to have graphs of throughput, latency, etc from any hosts we so choose. I can't see anyway to do this.

For example, I want a graph on latency on router1 and a separate graph of throughput on switchA on the same screen so that we can correlate data.

Ah OK, I had always kind of thought about the dashboards as permanent fixtures rather than making one to just have a graph on it and then modifying the graphed items each time.

I guess that can work, it just seemed like a better fit of something under "latest data" as it is only temporal. Allowing the same multiple host/item selection method under latest data would be faster and more intuitive.

Also on this - when creating a graph in a dashboard (and in other places), searching for an item does not work, and so far as I can recall has never worked - and if you click the select button, there is no search function in that window at all. Is this normal?

There is no search function in dashboard widget menus that I know of. You can only filter by host group, select your host and choose an item.

Do you know if there is a reason for this? When a host has 1k+ items, scrolling through to find the thing you want is a little painful

I don't know why, no. You could try to just use ctrl + f to search for the item though.

I was way too vague sorry, I'll post a screen shot of what I meant by not being able to search.
This host has ~630 items - we have some with thousands of items. When I want to create a trigger on an item, this is the window which pops up for the expression constructor - there is no way to simply search for the item I want in that expression constructor popup.


From memory - every time there is a pop up window there is no way to search in that window. I'll have to note down other examples as I go.

Using the dashboards for graphing multiple items is okay I guess, it just isn't how I personally would envisage working with ephemeral graphs and data which I may want to construct on the fly.
