What Alex said. - Logarithmic is universal so that shouldn't be controversial Lower-limit and upper-limits are already implemented. Rigid is something very rrdtool specific so I want to punt on it at this time. Vladimir On Thu, 19 Jul 2012, Alex Dean wrote: > > On Jul 19, 2012, at 9:12 AM, Je

I would define a scaling factor or some other variable. I do want to steer away from having tool specific options unless absolutely necessary. Vladimir On Wed, 18 Jul 2012, Jeff Buchbinder wrote: > On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 9:55 AM, Vladimir Vuksan wrote: >> I don't like it. It's rrdtool specifi

[Ganglia-developers] add "extras" parsing to json graph-definitions

2012-07-18 Thread Jochen Hein
Hi, I'm working on getting ganglia to display correct units for one custom graph. One of the first tries was to give some extra option to rrdtools. When using php-graphs, this is done via $rrdtool_graph[ 'extras' ], but there is nothing for json graphs. That simple patch (against 3.4.2) should f
