I will chime in here with the same thought. I would like to see the

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?
Why should the graph break? Like now if you set a device to non polling nothing is graphed for
that device. I see no reason not to have chart data the same way you have map data now. Move the
chart also to the new IM host.
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.
I move the devices manually because it isn't a roaming issue. We do a large area with multiple
towers that have multiple primary radio's or as some call base stations. So we may have to
physically go out and move an antenna to point at a different tower because of tree growth.
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... ;-)
