    Few quick questions/comments, I am running dev version 3.0 (build PC090414).

    One thing I noticed was gone from the v2.1 release is the ability to add images to a map and allow them to link to other maps (i.e.- create a node called Chicago and when you click on it, you get another map of Chicago downtown with the nodes in that city). It allows me to create images that link to equipment like routers, but I would like to have a world wide map divided by region (its hard to get 20+ nodes on a state map and have it readable. Another request I have is to allow for some formatting of the labels for the graphs/images, I find them often to be left justified when I want to have them center, and I am having a hard time with the small text overlay on a google maps cutout (i.e.- allow for some bolding/size adjustment for easier reading, especially on a NOC monitoring projector).

    Another question, is there a way to easily allow the conversion of octets (bytes) to megabytes or Gigabytes for high traffic switches?

    95th percentile support?

    Summation of in+out octets?

    Export Graphs/Reports to file/location(I think this is available for graphs, may have seen it somewhere, but have not seen for reports)? I want to be able to export the html or a pdf of a report to include with each server an a separate program.

    I will think of more as I go, but these are a few things that I have not found how to do yet, but would like to use this tool to be able to.

    keep up the good work.

    You can add maps linked to images in 3.0 dev, so you can create a world map with just few nodes and those nodes linked to another map underneath if that’s what you want.

    Would you add those features you’re asking for (the formatting and so on) to the Feature Request tracker? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=794855&group_id=155200&func=browse

    Regarding the conversion…you just need to multiply by 1024 or am I wrong? If it’s that, you just need to use the “post-process” option when defining the module.

    You have HTML reports and PDF reports (PDF are only Enterprise) or a XLM file (Reporting -> Custom Reporting)
    And you can export any module data to CSV or a table as well (Agent Detail, Export data)

    Hope this helps

    First, I think this is user error, more or less adjusting to the 3.0 changes.

    I will add those features in when I get a chance.

    Regarding conversion, yes dividing by 1024^3 you should be able to show the Gigabytes on a graph, I was unaware of post-process section.

    Ups, I meant dividing yep.
    Keep in mind you can only multiply in the post-process section, so you’d need to multiply it by 0.xxxxxxxx

    Quick question on the post-process, is there anyway to allow for a larger number? there appears to only be enough space for 4 or 5 decimals, to convert to megabytes or gigabytes I would need 7+ deciamals (1024^3 has 9 decimal places before any numbers)

    Ummm, this probably need to alter structure on database, it’s very easy:

    Altering database with following SQL sentence (MySQL):

    go to mysql command line tool (check password for pandora user in /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf)

    mysql -u pandora -pxxxxx -D pandora

    Enter this comnand:

    ALTER TABLE tagente_modulo MODIFY `post_process` double(18,13) default NULL;

    post_process now have 13 decimals available. This is fixed on 3.0 version (currently in development).
