Re: [Ganglia-developers] Avg Load percentages on the web frontend.

[Jason A. S. <sm...@bn...>]

I was thinking that if some people would prefer the current behavior, it
could either be made into an admin config option or somehow user
selectable on the web frontend.  A third option, like you said, would be
to display both.  Anyone have any thoughts on which is the best choice
and how to do it.
