Feature request: Graphs for triggered alerts

[smiles1969]

It would be VERY useful to be able to graph how many times a particular syslog alert has been triggered over time, and also the number of times the same specific alert has come in within the poller interval period, for alerts that have thresholds before they trigger.

That would be a nice data query to create. It would not be too difficult.

What would your recommended method be to create this query?

What I've done in attempt to accomplish this is create a php script to query the database and present the results, modeled after your syslog_counter.php that allows graphing the incoming messages.

This method is static and makes sense for the existing application, however doesn't seem to fit the dynamic nature of configurable syslog alerts.

Ideally this would be configured through the plugin.

If you can attach your work here, we could look it over and see how we can integrate it?

@smiles1969 would you share that php script with us?

Yea for sure. Share. Though I might have to add a column for that in the upcoming release. Then, we can add a COUNTER and Data Query to fetch the statistics.
