Lowering the total time on Performance Graphs

Post by psyllex »

Hello Nagios folks,


In XI, under host details, then I pick a host, and go to performance graphs. When I click on a particular performance graph, it gives me the option to look at that give over 4 hours (currently it's 24 hours). Is there a way to set all performance graphs to 4 hours and be able to save it? Right now I can't seem to save the 4 hour state. Thanks a lot.

Better yet is it possible to get the time down to minutes instead of hours????

The five different time period options are built-in. You can see this by looking at the url for the graphs, for example:
This is the 4-hour graph, the lowest setting, designated by 0&start.
One the other end of the scale is the year view, designated by 4&start.

You can drill down the rrd performance data better with the "graph explorer" component as it allows for custom time periods under the "scalable Performance graph" tab.

Alright with that being said....I adding a punch of performance graphs at the 24 hour pace to a dashboard, then to my views.

Will they just automatically reflect that I changed the time frame to 4 hours or do I need to go through and delete all those graphs and re-add them??

If you click on a performance graph you can just choose 4 hour timeframe from the left, then add the dashlet from there for each performance graph
