Package: rrdtool
Version: 1.3.1-4
Severity: wishlist
It would be very useful to have some sort of visual indication, such as
color for "labelling" levels, for the importance or criticality of a
numerical level. Possibilities are:
1) Color of font used on the verical scale, i.e. the font could go from
green to yellow to red depending upon set thresholds for that graph.
2) A color band alongside the vertical scale indicating importance in a
manner similar to 1).
3) A transparent background shading of the body of the graph again similar
to 1).
As mentioned in 1), the boundaries for the levels would be specified in
the graph configuration settings. The precision could be a simple 3 level scheme
as in 1), all the way to a totally configurable coloring specified by the
author of the graph depending upon how much time the developer has to
implement the schemes.

All right. With this E-mail, I'm closing this bug now. If you think
there's anything else missing in RRDtool for that purpose, please feel
free to reopen it.
