Hello,

I have Zenoss Core 3.1 monitoring a Juniper router that has several thousand logical interfaces. When I go into the Device in question, and select Components > Interfaces to get the interface graphs, it takes about a minute or two for Zenoss to load the list of interfaces. Then, when I try to scroll down the list, every 20 entries or so, I have to wait another minute as Zenoss loads up the next chunk of the list. I can use the "filter" field to filter down to interfaces with a certain name, but this also takes a good amount of time to parse.
I am looking for a way that I can set a default "filter", so that the default view of the interfaces for this device only has the certain interfaces I want to see graphs for regularly. I'm not able to find anything like this in looking through the UI or google, so I'm hoping someone here can offer some advice.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is going to exactly match what you want, but have you considered creating a graph report containing what you want (your filter), and just running that when you want to take a look?

Yes! That does exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

Hmm, as I was setting up the graph report, I was adding the interfaces and noticed that only the first 40 graphs showed up in the report configuration screen. If I deleted some graphs, the other "missing" ones showed up, like they were pushed off the list. Do you perhaps know how to make the edit report page show all graphs, or how to page through the list if you have more than 40?
