I will chime in here with the same thought. I would like to see the charts be totally independent of the maps. Then if I moved a device to a different map no data would be lost. Then a way to build web pages based on what charts you would like to see on the same page.
Interesting idea, but what will you do if one of the devises is missing (due the one map being closed..) ?
Should the graph just break? Or should the graph not show until all devises is available?
It could be interesting with a 'global' chart that does not belong to a map, but what happens when you move a map to a new IM server? I think we still need map-belonging charts.
And one last thought a way to move a device to a different chart and not lose the data. The data would go with it to the different chart. Our reasoning is we have wireless customers and sometimes they need moved between what main radios they connect to. We try to keep track of them and the main radio to watch bandwidth loads. When we move them though we lose all the old data.
This seems like a special data type, and hence the proposal should maybe be in another way, since you should not be moving the device manually.
What is needed here, is two new dependent features.
1: Strip charts for AirPort that dynamically add new devices as the 'roam' into the AP router.
Meaning: If you make a chart for utilization on a <pick brand> Airport router, this would be a special chart that displays devises based on the number of 'clients' on the AP network. Each 'client' will then use feature two.
2: Strip chart data that is logged based on devise hardware number (MAC address). This would enable an AirPort Chart to log data to the correct log file for this specific 'client' and in the same time move the chat to another AP router when the client 'roam' in the office space.
It would also enable us to see a 'last seen' date/time the device was last on our network.
Hope this makes sense. Now it's time for morning coffee... ;-)
