I just start using NetMRG in fc3. After applying a template for a sub-device at Monitoring > Groups > Device, I found that the "view icon" for the sub-device at Reporting > Device Tree is still gray in color. But the "view icon" of Device is orange, and I can see the template graph I just added.

Then I try adding more sub-devices, and apply Template Graph to them. All the graphs can only be viewed at "Device", but not "Sub-device". Is it an expected behavior? Or I have some sort of misconception?

Thanks very much!

This is the current behavior of NetMRG with respect to applying templates. There is nothing preventing you from adding items to the view for a sub-device yourself, however. We probably should change this in the future to add the items automatically to the sub-devices themselves, in addition to the device. The original goal was to have multiple graphs for a single interface (traffic, ratelimits, errors, etc) in the view for a sub-device, but in practice we have rarely had more than one graph for each interface, and thus the feature has been left in its current "there but not used, really" state.
