Right. There are no more gmetrics. Everything is just a metric. Gmond does
not differentiate between a builtin metric, a modular metric or a gmetric.
With the GROUP designation that is now part of the XML output, where and now
metrics show up on the web interface can now be a lot more meaningful. But
this is one of the web frontend changes that needs to be made. Besides the
user friendly titles being displayed, the web frontend needs to split up the
metrics by group. One catch for now, most of the metrics don't have a GROUP
designation yet. That will happen when the builtin metrics are ported to
modules.
I attempted to update the man pages but wasn't quit sure how. I haven't dealt
with man pages much.
