Add ability to enable/disable graphs
Just like you can enable/disable items in a template or on a host, it would be nice if you could enable/disable graphs on a template or host.
In my case, because there's no good way to set thresholds for discovered disks by using macros on a host (for the threshold value) I had to revert back to manually creating the items/triggers/graphs for the most commonly used drives (C-G). This is fine because we simply leave everything but C disabled and then enable the ones we want on the host settings. However, the graphs we've defined for C-F appear even if we don't want them. This is why I'd like to be able to disable graphs for the drives that aren't present on that host. I could see a number of other reasons you might want to do this though.
Another option would be to auto disable a graph from showing up on a host if any of the objects needed for the graph are themselves disabled, but I could see cases where that may not work for some folks. I do have another suggestion somewhat related to this but I'll put that in a new thread.
