Additional Fields for Graphs

[knebb]

Hi,

a feature request:

I want to add remarks to my graphs on special events.

I.e. I changed the swappiness value of a Linux box. When I check my graphs I can see an event so I know later when I changed it. Or a server got some more performant CPUs. Or, or, or...

So I know it's not to realise inside the rrd graphs. But having an additional field on the detailed view with all entries and dates would be fine.

Hopefully you know what I mean.

Actually, rrdtool has a VRULE command, to mark events in time, which can have a legend. drraw.cgi uses this, and a seperate 'events' text file to produce what you want. Just to say it's definitely possible.
