[Devmon] devmon and graphing

[Stef C. <ste...@do...>]

Hi,

I just installed and started using devmon.  I created a template for a SAN 
switch I want to monitor and the setup is working.  I also monitor some 
BIG-IP's.

For the big-ip's the detection is not working like it should be.  sysDescr is 
not enough, so I'm looking for a way to extend the detection procedure.

I also want to create graphs.  There is rrd support in devmon, but only for 
TABLE:.  I also want to create graphs for single values.

On the hobbit server, you need extra scripts for the graphs.  But there is a 
patch for hobbit 4.2.0 (the patches is included in 4.3.0) so you can send a 
trends message.  This message specifies the rrd you want to be created with 
all needed options so no extra script is needed on the hobbit server.  I 
think this is a more elegant way to create the rrd files.

So, I want to hack devmon and add some  features.
At the same time, I don't want to interfer with other patches.  So, is anyone 
working on updating devmon regarding rrd and to who can I send my patches ?
