I have to disagree on this point. I already have MRTG, great tool for trending but not good if I want to look at specifics of a day at a more granular level. The Intermapper graphs are great because I can view a day and then drill down to a 30 second interval if I want. In addition, I can create a graph on the fly, easy simple drag and drop, DONE. See what is going on, show customers that the problem IS NOT the network and delete it after a day or so.
I just have a problem with two years worth of data being loaded when we open maps. It seems to really be slowing down Intermapper. A map with say... 15 graphs with 2 years of data each, will take quite a while to open and slows down all other maps. It has gotten to the point where I can only open one of our many maps at a time. Not to mention the disk space that is being chewed up. If there is no menu option, how can I archive manually? Do I have to go in and truncate the data file? I suppose I could write a perl script to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
