Hi,

It's not (currently) possible, as you correctly noticed.

Hi,

i wonder if its possible to group port types (eg. all 10GigE) of a specific device. We have some core switches that have lots of modules with a huge amount of ports. If I click to see the graphs of that device it takes way to long while it loads all of the ports of that device. Like:

switch1 ------> Module 1 ------> Module 2 ------> PortChannels ------> TenGig ------> VLANs switch2

etc.

It would be much faster/easier to go directly to the desired module/port group.

Thanks

Chris.

Thanks for your answer. I'll take a look at your suggestion and see how it works out.

I have found the 'search' box up the top left really good for going straight to a particular port I know something about (ie description match etc.. Circuit id)

The /ports/ search thing is also pretty good for filtering (ie show me all the LAGs that are UP), or all the 10gig ports, etc..

To make it faster I set this in config.php

$config['ports_page_default'] = "basic"; // eg "details" or "basic"

This makes it not do graphs by default... Then for example I will sort on % usage of 10G ports to see any 'interesting' patterns

You could then have some bookmarks or similar to quick link eg

http://observium.mytest.com/ports/state=up/ifType=ieee8023adLag/sort=traff ic_perc/

(you get the idea)

Well, thats because we where used to cacti and its gui for years :) For now, I'll stick with Peters suggestion and see how it works for us. 20.000 ports have to be manageable somehow.

I'm not sure I would want to add an extra click to get at ports.

For a page with 350 ports it took 1.1 minutes with the "bits" graph type and 32 seeconds with the 'details' view.

The 'basic' view took 3.6 seconds to load.

Perhaps we should default to the 'basic' view for devices with large numbers of interfaces.

I don't think taking UI design tips from Cacti is a good idea. :)
