From OpenNMS

JFreeChart support

As of 1.3.0, OpenNMS supports the use of JFreeChart to display bar graphs on the front page of the OpenNMS webUI.

Example of how to create a custom chart

1. Find a similar chart in the charts-configuration.xml
2. Copy that chart
3. Modify the name, domain-axis-label, and title value to match the new information being presented.
4. For each series-def -
   1. Rename the series-name and domain-axis-label to an appropriate name
   2. modify the sql to return a row with two columns, the first column is the label, the second the numeric value. In most cases the first column will be a string in single quotes, the second will be a count(*).
5. Test! I found I needed to restart the webapp after the first test to get this going. Right now the only way I know how to restart jetty is to restart all of OpenNMS.
