Improve graph visualization and zooming
As a an IT administrator analyzing time series basic functions like zooming should be allowed via mouse movements by dragging or using the scroll wheel versus using buttons so that I can see more granular data quickly and easily to troubleshoot a problem.

See my detailed feature request (posted on Paessler KB):
As a PRTG User, I want to have interactive graphs with mouseover.
Currently the graphs are a static picture, but very often I have the need of knowing a specific value in the graph. As a workaround I can zoom in, but it would be great if can see it instantly by mouseover.
Acceptance criteria
- show current value via mouseover
- if more than one line is present, highlight the one where mouse points to
- make graphs zoomable via mouse (drawing a rectangle in the current view and then automatically zoom to the selected time range)
- include dates implemented in the X-axis. It's much too easy to lose track after a few clicks sometimes.(Edited by admin) -

We really need this!!! PRTG feels like a tool from 2010 when it comes to Zoom on Graphs.
