Multi-host value graphs

[jonnjonzzn]

Is it possible to setup a template graph that includes values for multiple hosts?

A simple scenario describing what I'm looking for in general: a graph showing total vm's per esx host in a cluster all on a single graph. I've obviously been able to do this manually by creating the graph on a specific host and manually entering all the different host items but this would take forever in our environment. How may I automate this at the discovery/templating level? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

We have PHP code for this that we'll polish up in Q2 and can share - basically you give is a server group and it'll create both composite items (like 1-idle% to get total CPU use) and multi-server graphs, including splitting so if you have 16 web servers it'll split the into two graphs.

The composite items are needed because we often have a single server graph showing several parts of one thing like CPU% - user, steal, nice, iowait, maybe idle but to do a multi-server graph those have to be combined into one item. This is a pain to do. Same for RAM use (free+cache is most useful).

Ping me in a few months on this and we can share.
