Highly unlikely. If you think about it, it would be to all intents impossible to code anything meaningful - meaning something that would work for other than a narrow set of conditions. Just for starters, when the user graphs them, should the different sets of data be stacked or overlaid ? What set of colours should be used ? What about the situation where one set of data needs to be stacked, and then another set done in a separate stack* ? If the user creates some VDEFs and puts them in the legend, should they be summed ? How would that work for anything but average ? The only sensible way is to let the user sort all that out and tell RRD exactly what they want. * That's one I have. Plot all the inbound traffic as a stack, then plot all the outbound traffic as a separate stack (having multiplied all the values by -1) - give a graph with inbound traffic by IP above the X axis in a stack, and the outbound traffic by IP in a stack below the X axis. Gets "quite busy" with lots of IPs - I have one with all 254 addresses in a class C ! Still no idea how to handle IPv6 :( -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
