Hi,
It came to my attention yesterday that some customers were finding
our install of Cacti [1] confusing. The main problem appeared to be
that the default view upon logging in was the "Tree View", and it
wasn't obvious how to get from there to the individual graphs that
you're permitted to view.
Experienced Cacti users will know that the three buttons in the top
right corner switch between the three different graph views: "Tree",
"List" and "Preview".
The "Tree View" is what you were all seeing to begin with. "List
View" is just a textual list of links to all graphs that you're
permitted to view. "Preview View" is similar, but provides graph
thumbnails to click on.
Of these, it was suggested that "Preview View" was the most obvious,
so I have now set everyone's default view to be this. It should take
effect from your next login to Cacti.
I didn't spot anyone who had deliberately set their default view to
"Tree" or "List", but if you did, or if you just happen to prefer
the other views, you can set them as your personal default from the
"settings" tab.
If you have any problems, do let me know.
Cheers,
Andy

<zts> well it turns out that there was a miscommunication: one team
thought we were meant to be hanging ourselves; the other, that
immolation was the way forward. And so we kinda accidentally
burnt our rope.
