Just wondering if it's possible to change the order of legend items in user-defined graphs?

We have a couple of storage servers with 24 harddrives each. I'm monitoring disk I/O for these systems using 24-separate targets each, and then a user-defined graph to pull it all together into 1 graph for read/write.

Everything works nicely. However, the legend under the graph lists all 24 drives, and then the total at the very bottom. Even on a 1280x1024 monitor, the bottom scrolls off the screen.

What I want to know is whether it's possible to re-arrange the legend, such that the Total line is listed first, right underneath the graph?

It's not possible, sorry. The Total and Average always appear at the end.

You can use the routers.cgi*Options[]:nodetails extended option to suppress the components if all you're interested in is the total; this hides the component legends entirely (may not be what you want)

I take it that you've deliberately set the colours to be the same for In and Out on each?

You might like to take a look at the stackmirror graph type; with this Out is displayed as negative values, and so you can use a different colour for each component (in this case, both in and out use the same colour)

There are examples of the different graph types in the book...

The demo site is a bit old and predates working stackmirror graphs. It is also running a rather old RRDs that needs updating... I will get around to updating it some time and add some more examples in there now that more spiffy things are possible (like userdefined summary pages and so on)
