Consolidating charts

Question

Admittedly I have not done a single bit of research on this as I am on my way out the door and just got this request... but thought maybe someone would have a quick solution.

I have a dashboard view that shows charts of internet usage on three different interfaces. Each one has a specific bandwidth set. I want to add one more chart to the page that consolidates all three into one chart showing the percent utilization of the total bandwidth combined. Am I going to be able to do that? If so, how. :)

Sorry for taking the lazy way out on this one... just bad timing.

TIA for any help...

I have been trying to get this to work all morning and have come to the conclusion that it should be possible currently but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

I have a custom view that shows three different interface % utilization charts. I want to add an additional chart that shows me total percent utilization for the three combined. So I created a new view using a network wide summary chart, and then I tried setting a view limitation on that view to include only the these three interfaces with the intention of adding the chart to my original view via custom html and pasting in the img tag. However the chart still displays the entire network utilization instead of just those three interfaces. I read here  that this is a bug, although I'm not entirely sure that this *should* work the way I want it to.

So I thought I might go with a custom report instead. I have a report created that will list % utilization for each of the interfaces, but I can't seem to get it to group the results into one overall view.

I'm looking for any clues to accomplish this, preferrably with a chart but if that's not possible, then with a report. TIA.

I should clarify that the interfaces are each on different nodes as well.. don't know if that will make a difference.
