    Sugg. No. 4: Label for Y-Axis / Item units

    A Graph with only 1 y-axis gets the unit of the first item that is assigned to it. When a second item is attached, the unit from item 1 is kept. There's no clue of item 2's unit. (apart from the legend).

    A graph with 2 y-axis (left and right) has the same issures. If there are 2 items which don't have units, no one knows which item belongs to which axis.

    A graph can only contain data from 1 host.

    Suggestion:
    - Why not allow data from multiple hosts? Create an additional drop-down menu for the hosts. That would also make the drop-down smaller than now.
    - Every item gets its own y-axis. Then you can label the y-axis with the item's name AND its unit.
    You are also able to combine an item with values up to 10000 (10k) and an item with values about 10 both on the right side and both are shown in the center of the graph.
    Until now, item 2 would be a straight line, lying on the x-axis.

    Additionally, the scaling of the left and the right side's axis is the same if axis type = fixed.
    So in a graph with CPU Temperatur on the right and CPU Load on the left and y-axis reaching from 0 to 100, the LoadAV is a line somewhere above 0.

    Is it possible to store different ranges for each axis?

      seconded!

      As a feature request, I second these suggestions

      Tthe Y axes should be independent of each other which would allow one Y axis to be fixed scale and the other to be dynamic

      An example of what you might have is CPU Load Average vs CPU Idle %.

      The CPU Idle % would have a unit of '%' and be fixed from 0 to 100

      The CPU Load average would have no unit (or a unit of 'load avg') and would be dynamically scaled.

      It'd be very useful for graphs that chart seperate data onto one graph.

      Thank in advance.
