Moving from cacti to zenoss has been great, except for one thing... date ranges in graphs. Here is an external interface (php/cgi) to run under apache on your zenoss server. More information about the requirements, install and some screenshots are located at github. I have also attached the screen shots to this post.

I wrote this becuase I wanted to have the ability to specify date ranges and zoom graphs
* It's only been test on Zenoss 4.2
* It currently only works for Interface Graphs (specifically the Throughput)

This is awesome!!. This was our biggest complaint coming from Cacti to Zenoss. If this gets incorporated in various places, it would be a HUGE win.

Yea, the funny thing is that the renderserver does take end and start. I.E. copy your graph url from zenoss and append something like '&start=1346306361&end=1346317053'. It seems zenoss could implement the date range and zoom features in the interface pretty easily. It makes me wonder.. is this in the enterprise version?

On another note, I am already looking into adding the other graphs into this interface. Mainly the packets/sec, errors/sec on each interface and the cpu/mem graphs for the device. I don't really use any other graphs so I don't know what else I would want to look at including.
