That's something that we'd like to do in Reports, in a broader sense even. Besides what you described, we've had several requests for 'sum' across devices, i.e. the total tx/rx across a set of interfaces on a switch. The main difficulty, taking your example, is that it's not completely straightforward to get total bytes sent from bytes/second; at the least you have to multiply by the poll interval, which can change! Then with different datasets having different summation rules, the next problem is coming up with a reliable way to determine when to apply them. There are a few other issues as well. So as you can see it's a bit more involved than it appears, but we do know that it's something we need to support. ----------- David Schnur Development Lead http://intermapper.com -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.intermapper.com/viewtopic.php?p=4224#4224 ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected]
