Legend for graph

Authentic Theme

@Ilia

Is it possible to get a legend added to the bottom of graphs so we know which way is in and out or write and read … otherwise they are just pretty lines … and I have to keep remembering whats what … :rofl:

Thanks

Hello,

That sounds like a good improvement! I’ll take a closer look and update this ticket with my progress.

it would be a nice improvement, but just for kicks here is how it looks in TrueNAS.

This is incredibly difficult to implement!

5

what’s hard ?.. what I’m I missing ?

If the code is GPL your welcome to do it :slight_smile: I think Ilia might be talking about the screen shot.

7

Yeah, that’s over the top as we already have the graph … I just need a couple of words added to remind me what colour is what

8

unlike that screenshot I don’t think there is any current differentiation between in/out (read/write) so that might be the problem.

or am I misunderstanding? I only get colours when the cpu/memory graphs hit high levels (occasionally)

this more for the network I/O

virtualmin image: the network in/out has different coloured lines.

Truenas: below the line in orange is outgoing, above the line is in blue incoming. (personally i would liek these reversed on truenas)

It’s even complicated to cleanly add simple labels! Dealing with SVG graphs that are rebuilt on the fly isn’t straight forward.

Nevertheless, the latest commits include this feature:

Looks nice, a welcome addition, thanks

@Ilia

Fetch is strange word to be using, is it possible to change it to receive ?

Thanks

Yes, exactly! I don’t really like it either! I’ll go with In and Out instead. I initially used Fetch because Received didn’t seem to fit well in terms of width.

Send / Recv is a pair that is often used. But In/Out is just as good.
