Perhaps the mouse hover showing the vertex values is terribly difficult due to it being an image. If we set that aside, is the time window selection with the mouse drag more of a possibility?

I get what you’re saying about needing support in the underlying tools & libs. But… how does Smokeping do it, then? It’s also based on RRDtool. If they have a custom graph-rendering front-end, then oh well. But if they’ve managed to layer on top of standard rrdtool libs, it would open up a possible avenue for investigation. Y’know, in your spare time :-). -Adam

This isn't something that can be easily added because of how graphs are generated. It's trivial with a graphing system that supports it and next to impossible with one that doesn't. Since we use RRDtool as our metric storage system, we don't have efficient direct access to the data and rely on RRDtool itself to generate the images. Adam.

What I am asking for specifically is the ability to:
1. Hover the mouse cursor over the graph and have it show pop-up boxes with info that show the current value for that vertex on the graph. 2. The ability to select a time window by clicking and dragging the cursor across the graph.
This functionality is commonly seen on stock graphs such as finance.yahoo.com or finance.google.com where you can view values across the timeline and select time ranges by highlighting them on the graph with the mouse cursor.
Is this a feature that can be added to Observium? Also, if this is not the appropriate method to issue feature requests please kindly direct me towards the proper method.
