How can i create a custom dashboard where i want bandwidth graphs for particular interfaces only from different devices. I might add more things to it like memory and CPU.
Probably the easiest way is by using the "Top XX Interfaces by Percent Utilization" resource.. this resource is on the default Top 10 view already. I suspect you are looking to create a custom Top 10 view of your own anyhow, since you mentioned added CPU and memory later. Might be easier to simply copy that view and modify it for this. But as for displaying the interfaces you want, you'll need to create some custom property on the interfaces you want and filter the resource. Example:
1. Add a custom property to the interfaces called "ConnectionType"
2. On the WAN router interfaces, add "WAN" to the custom property...maybe add "Internet" to the internet interfaces
3. Add the "Top XX Interfaces by Percent Utilization" resource to some view, or create a new view and add it there
4, Edit the resource and add a filter "ConnectionType = 'WAN' "
That will display only "WAN" interfaces on your chart. Hope that hleps.

deverts Thanks.. I was able to do this by using custom properties. One thing more is there for it to show PRTG style traffic graphs for my selected interfaces on single page.
Multiple graphs on one page: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Display_multiple_Interface_resources_in_one_page
This is another great option, and it will certainly provide you with the graph look-n-feel. I would caution you that it could get cluttered as you add more and more interfaces. Another option would be to add several Multi-graph resources to a dashboard and individually select the interfaces you want displayed. I was looking for a more dynamic solution for you that appears clean (less cluttered) on the page. But all the options are certainly valid and available.
Thanks this helped, i did not now about the custom html setting before.
