Yeah, We currently have one instance that only does Infrastructure and
the other doing everything else.
I want to eliminate one and have just the one portal.
This has been discussed before in the forums and there were some
plugins that sorted some host in another tab but thats not what
I want to see.
I want to log in and just see all infrastructure hosts or subs by
simply having a drop down to filter by group.

Isn't there a way to merge multiple cacti instances from multiple hosts?

It has to do with the Hosts page which is a quick snapshot of all
things green or red.
For ever we have always had a single cacti service running to handle
both infrastructure and subs but it has gotten to large
to have all that on one site.
So, my idea was to have a drop down that would only show a group of
defined units like servers, Back hauls, Aps, subs and so forth within
the host page or devices page whatever you want to call it.
The graph tree for me on sorts the graphs not the hosts.
Especially when ur on your mobile and you just want to check to see
whats up or down.
This could be personal setting that could be set by the user to
default to just a single group when
they log in.

Same here. I don't understand what you are proposing David. My
graphs are manually sorted in the graph tree. What does your plugin do?

Sort of like a manage plugin that works?
We've arranged our graphs to be grouped by POP/AP/Subscriber,
but it's done more-or-less manually. When a new subscriber is
added, we add them to the appropriate graph tree. This way,
someone not in the know can see the organization of the
infrastructure.
Not clear if this is significantly different by your description.

For those of you using cacti..
Out of necessity I am going to be working a plugin that will do
Host groups or views for the hosts
displayed.
For example instead of all hosts in one view you can group
them by infrastructure or subscribers and set permissions on
who is allowed to view infrastructure and subs or just subs.
There are some other plugins that let you add them to a tab
and view but I want a drop down like on the host page
to display only what I need.
Of course you can place a tag in the name of each host and
search by this tag. I am just being lazy I guess I want a simple
drop down that will give me the groups I want.
Since we use nagios to watch majority of infrastructure for
alerting I want cacti to only show that infrastructure.
I am just taking poll to see how many use or could use
something like this.
