[drraw-users] dashboards

[Atack Simon]

Hi,

I am trying to get dashboards to show a lot of similar graphs that only
differ by the filename but have 2 directories that are selected.

I have a custom written scripts that query flexlm licence servers and
process the data so that I get the licence counts out (Script available
on request)

I have it putting things in folders like this

lmstats/<APPLICATION>/<FEATURE>/counters.rrd         -- for totals
counters
Eg lmstats/fluent/fluentall/counters.rrd
lmstats/<APPLICATION>/<FEATURE>/machine/             -- Where files for
each machine name go <1 file per machinename>
Eg lmstats/Abaqus/abaqus/machine/winxp01.rrd

lmstats/<APPLICATION>/<FEATURE>/username/             --     Where
files for each username go <1 file per username>
Eg lmstats/Matlab/Matlab/username/simon.rrd

lmstats/<APPLICATION>/<FEATURE>/version/              --       Where
files for each version go <1 file per version>
Eg lmstats/Abaqus/cae/version/v6.7.rrd


For the total counters view I have a template where the base regular
expression is

lmstats/(.+)/(.+)/counters

For the machines view (username & version are similar) I have a template
where the base regular expression is

lmstats/(.*)/(.*)/machine/(.*)\.rrd


These both work fine and display nice graphs with a selection box where
you can multiple select the graphs but what I want to do is setup a
dashboard so that you can select the <APPLICATION> & <FEATURE> and it
will display all the machine graphs or select the <APPLICATION> and it
display the counter graphs for all the appropriate <FEATURE> folders.
So effectively I want to be able to take a template and have it display
a selection for 1 or 2 of the sub-selections and then make a dashboard
for them while showing graphs for all the other sub-selections. There
are a lot of application & feature folders and I don't want to create
new views for each of them [ it also means when new things are added I
don't need to make up a new view]

Can someone help me out I have spend a lot of time and effort fiddling
but don't seem to have managed to get this to work.  Am I being stupid
or can drraw not do this? 


Also is there any chance of some examples being put up on the wiki for
dashboards etc?


Thanks

Simon
