A confusing title but let me explain the best I can.
I have several events, triggers, traps, and other data. This data is either gathered on change(trap) or on an occasional basis (like once a day for software version). Currently, the is no way to graph this data to corolate it with other time based data. I understand that the data at first glance doesn't seem to be compatable so that it can be graphed. An example may make things clear.
For instance, I have a piece of hardware for which I monitor ten pieces of data. IF in and out, IF errors, other various data that is normally graphed as a series of points across a timeline. Then I have a couple of pieces of data that I only want to keep track of when they change, like software version or the change of a trap state. What I would love to do is be able to place that odd piece of data on a graph, placed on the timeline using the time it was collected with the data being a "ballon" or "callout box" like the one at the top of this box when you post a thread or message. You know, a little yellow(or some color) post-it note sort of thing.
Having this would allow anyone who has data collected occasionaly placed on a graph with other data to more easily gauge the occasional occurances effect on normally measured values. You could see if that latest Cisco IOS you installed actually may be responsable for more CRC errors or dropped packets (or whatever).
A very crude mock up of what I mean with an example of a cisco router with the SW version change reported (the current version is noted since it is a change from the previous one).
