[smokeping-users] Overview Graphs for hierarchical structures

[Marc Haber]

Hi,

I have the following hierarchy defined in my configuration:

+ mh-servers

menu = mh-servers
title = mh-servers

++ cucaracha_zugschlus_de

menu = cucaracha.zugschlus.de
title = cucaracha.zugschlus.de

+++ cucaracha_zugschlus_de_87_106_166_24

probe = FPing
menu = cucaracha.zugschlus.de 87.106.166.24
title = cucaracha.zugschlus.de 87.106.166.24
host = 87.106.166.24

+++ cucaracha_zugschlus_de_2001_8d8_81_20c0__2460_1

probe = FPing6
menu = cucaracha.zugschlus.de 2001:8d8:81:20c0::2460:1
title = cucaracha.zugschlus.de 2001:8d8:81:20c0::2460:1
host = 2001:8d8:81:20c0::2460:1

The idea is to have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and, in the future,
monitored services) under an hierarchy per server.

This results in the web interface not showing any graphs when one
clicks on "mh-servers" in the menu (see
http://q.bofh.de/~mh/stuff/20120916-smokeping1.png). The overview
graphs only show when I click on the host name (see
http://q.bofh.de/~mh/stuff/20120916-smokeping2.png).

Is it possible to have the overview graphs show in higher hierarchy
levels, for example, that overview graphs for all hosts defined under
mh-servers show when I click on the "mh-servers"?

Overview graphs show fine when I don't configure the intermediate,
"host name" level:

+ mh-servers

menu = mh-servers
title = mh-servers

++ cucaracha_zugschlus_de_87_106_166_24

probe = FPing
menu = cucaracha.zugschlus.de 87.106.166.24
title = cucaracha.zugschlus.de 87.106.166.24
host = 87.106.166.24

++ cucaracha_zugschlus_de_2001_8d8_81_20c0__2460_1

probe = FPing6
menu = cucaracha.zugschlus.de 2001:8d8:81:20c0::2460:1
title = cucaracha.zugschlus.de 2001:8d8:81:20c0::2460:1
host = 2001:8d8:81:20c0::2460:1

but that will eventually lead to a very long list of
hostname/IP/services. I'd really love to keep the more structured way
of configuration/presentation while still having overview about what
is happening. Is this possible?

Greetings
Marc
