#31 Better handling of multiple metrics

[Garry W. Cook]

Some plugins have multiple metrics, eg. check_load and
check_ifstatus. Since I run check_ifstatus against about
100 routers, and each returns 5 metrics, the 'View and
Analalyse Binary Data.' screen has grown quite large.

Attached file ppexample1.jpg for clarity.

Food for thought:
Can the 'View and Analalyse Binary Data.' screen be
broken up into hosts that can be expanded to show the
services available? Or perhaps it would be better to
group this into services available and then choose the
host?

In the case of several metrics for one service, can we
just display one metric on the 'View and Analalyse Binary
Data.' screen? Once chosen, we can then change to a
different metric using the drop down list on the following
page, and then redraw the graph.

How can we go about displaying all metrics in a single
graph?

We have now got 'groups' working, which will aid the problem.

In the future, it is planned to allow configurable comparable
groups of metrics. These would all be shown on the same
graph using their own defined colours.

The time scale for this is within the next two months.
