Interesting thing on multi-host graphing 🔗 link

All,

Don't know if I am unique in this aspect but thought I would post something
I discovered on multi-host graphing (this may be documented, if so, I
apologize)

I you wanted to graph multiple hosts on the load average graph, you would:

1. click on the "CPU" button for the host
2. click on the graph to get the 4 CPU graphs
3. change the host= in the URL line to be host=hosta,hostb

That will work.

What doesn't work is:

1. click on the "Trends" button for the host
2. click on the CPU graph to get the 4 CPU graphs
3. change the host= in the URL line to be host=hosta,hostb

On the option that doesn't work, it:
* changes the title to "Muti-host CPU load last 48 hours"
* adds the host name + color to the legend at the bottom

But never adds the second host.

So the difference is the method of entry into the 4 CPU graph's. Going
through the CPU button to get to it works, but going
through trends to get to the 4 cpu graph's does not.

Just to append to this, I compared the two URL's:

Works:
http://hobserv/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=hosta,hostb&service=la&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&disp=hosta&nostale&action=menu

Doesn't work:
http://hobserv/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=hosta,hostb&service=la&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=1&count=1&disp=hosta&action=menu

There are a few differences, notably:

works has: &nostale (doesn't work does not have this)
doesn't work has: &first=1&count=1 (works does not have this)

Simply by removing "&first=1" from the URL made it work, so I don't know if
that needs to be
there at all or not in any URL.
