Description

We have checks that provide performance data in a dynamic way, e.g. differing numbers of sensors. We'd like to combine all metrics of a type (e.g. all temps) into one graph dynamically. I can combine them if I explicitly define each metric, but we need them to be dynamic. There's no documentation on this issue and the forums have not provided help.

Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the explicit-metric graph setup with the reported Icinga Web 2, module, Icinga 2, and Graphite versions, then trace how metric definitions are assembled. Done means metrics of the same type can be discovered and combined into one graph without explicitly listing each metric.
