Create custom dashboard that shows the throughput graphs of a few important interfaces?

I would like to crate a page in solarwinds that will show the input and output of some important interfaces that we can click on and see them all in one place. I assume that would be a widget for each interfaces and then put those widgets all on one page. I can see the graphs I want in the built in pages, but I haven't figured out how to put those individual graphs in one location.

Let me try asking in another way. I would like to gather charts from various interfaces on a few of data center devices and put them on one screen. Can I have charts from individual interfaces be shown on a custom dashboard?

Yes, there are several ways to do it. One widget that can get you there is called the custom object resource and you could add one for for each interface or do more than one at a time if you like, or you could use the custom chart or custom table widgets, another option would be to save each interface that you want to display to one or more perfstack charts and add them to the dashboard as well.

Very good. Now I have to figure out how to do all your suggestions. I messed around with the custom object resource, but the options it listed didn't give me thoughput choices. I'll look again.

mesverrum,

I was able to use the perfstack method, but, in the perfstack view, I can hit the " Start Real Time Polling " and see live data, but in a new tab on my dashboard, all the graphs are static and don't show data. I would like to see live or even every 5 minute updates of data so if some anomaly occures, we can spot it.
