Graphs and templates

[Vince2]

Hi !

With Zabbix 1.1.2, I cannot create a graph for a template while it was possible with past versions. I have looked at the CVS and spotted this change :

http://zabbix.cvs.sourceforge.net/zabbix/zabbix/frontends/php/graphs.php?r1=1.49&r2=1.50&pathrev=zabbix-1_1_patch

The only effect of this change is to disallow graph creation for templates. I suppose that this change was needed for something else but the comment seems unclear for me.

How to create a graph for a template ?

well, I use zabbix 1.1.2 and I created graphs in templates

just create a normal graph, and when you add an item, select a parameter from a template

but after that, as the template is not on the list of hosts on graphs config page, you have to display all graphs to see those from templates.

It would be nice to have the templates in this list, and also to have a special host in this list for graphs that have no items (graphs you just created).
