Small feature? request

Hi Howie,

When we pick data sources from the webeditor and we tick the "Append TARGET" we can aggregate TARGETs (don't know if there is a max, I wonder what would happen with multiple snmp queries). So let's say we are appending 4 targets then the latst one is the one ending as OVERLIBGRAPH (only 1 and the last you added).

The whole thing is, I normally put 2 targets, sometimes more, but when I only put 2 I normally display both with OVERLIBGRAPH. I don't do that for more than 2 graphs because it becomes really ugly from the map point of view and from the config point of view because the OVERLIBGRAPH becomes terrible long as well (I've been thinking a nice way to mask it but...nothing useful yet).

So the question, is it possible to have a checkbox to add them to OVERLIBGRAPH as well?

I know you'd say if it's only to add a second one why should you bother? hahaha

It's stricky because you know 2 will be ok but more will be messy BUT at the same time, doing 2 on multiple links is a pain in the ... because you'll have to find out what the graph_id is separately while nwm already knows that from the picker.

So I think the real question is, how can nwm help us to address this issue?

If you want this on cacti's forum to see what other users think, let me know. I thought I'd be better here.

OK... this is a reasonable request - I'm just trying to think if there was a better way to do it than adding more (rarely used) checkboxes to the small picker window. Like maybe a settings tab on the picker, for all these little tweaks. I want to replace the picker completely quite soon, with something that can understand more than just a Cacti database, also.
