The datapoints should be the same as they are in a device template. While there is no GUI for selecting from existing datapoints, Zenoss will autocomplete the datapoint name for you.
Here's an example based on one of my graphs: * Pick some class of machines, say "Cluster Nodes" as my collection. * Create a graph definition called "cpu". You can leave all the fields here as default or modify them to suit your need. * Click the arrow under Graph Points and select "Add DataPoint..." For the name, type "ssCpu " and you'll get a list of datapoints. Select "ssCpuUser_ssCpuUser". This will be the "ssCpuUser" datapoint from the "ssCpuUser" graph of the device template. You should be able to leave all the values in the next screen as defaults, though for this example changing the Line Type to "area" and Stacked to "true" works better. * Save the datapoint. * Create a new graph group. Call it whatever you like. Select the "cluster nodes" collection, the "cpu" graph, and choose "All devices on a single graph". * Save the collection. * Now you should be able to view a single graph that shows the total CPU use for the group of machines. Give this example a try with some collection of servers or something. It should work and give you a feel for how the multi-graph module works. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=32667#32667 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
