Add the ability to display bar graphs using PRTG
As a Systems Engineer, I want the ability to display current sensor values as a bar chart/graph (in addition to the existing time-series line graphs), so that I can quickly and clearly compare live values across multiple channels at a glance, especially when monitoring many similar metrics like disk space across multiple drives, and easily identify which items are approaching warning or error thresholds through color-coded bars.
I understand PRTG's main focus has been on displaying data over time, however I have noted on a few occasions that I would benefit from being able to show live sensor data in a bar chart/graph. One such example: I have a sensor factory that keeps track of free space (%) on our NAS data drives, and would like the ability to show a bar chart with the live data as I believe this would be significantly easier to read for my colleagues.
With the line graph the lines are incredibly thin and there are so many to keep track of, it can often be hard to be sure which is which, even with the colour labels. It would be even more advantageous if I could set the bars to turn red/orange in the event the sensor reaches a warning or error threshold.
