reorder graphs in dashboard

Asked by Kevin

hello,
  is there a way to reorder graphs in the dashboard? I have 6-10 graphs per saved dashboard which are displayed on large screen, I need to reorder, recreated, and shuffle them often. I don't believe there is an open in UI, how about modifying the data directly in embedded mysql db?

Thanks
Kevin

I don't think so. Try putting in an add feature request. (Or submit a patch? )

Or use the latest trunk, I just committed this feature a few days ago. :)

Drag'n'drop by the way (its not really well indicated in the UI to do this unfortuntaely). If you drag and hover over another graph for a short while it will switch to merging mode and dropping the graph will merge their target lists.

Drag/drop merging doesn't reorder graphs in the layout. For example, I created a new graph but it's at the tail of the "list". I want it next to the first graph. (Let's call these A..F) How does one get ABCDEF to become AFBCDE?

The only trick I've been able to come up with is to clone A, which makes a new one after A, drop-merge F into new graph, delete cloned values from new graph (except I can't really delete them, so I edit the formula to read "1").

Eh?

oh wait, I think I get it. If you hover, it'll change to merge. If you just drag it quickly on to another, it'll push it into that place. Duh.

Yep you've got it, and if you find the delay for switching to merge mode to be too slow/quick you can customize it in /opt/graphite/conf/dashboard.conf

Can you help with this problem?
