Dear all: As you all know, 3.0.5 has just been released -- time to work on 3.1.0! :-)
I thought I would start a wishlist for 3.1.0 where we can brainstorm for ideas to go into our next release. So far, here are some points: - Brad's DSO gmetric code - Brad's gmetric alias idea - Dynamically link libraries like expat, apr, libconfuse - Re-organization of RPM packages (libganglia, gmond-python ?) - Support for new RRDTool which allows graphs to have dynamic sizes (Matt Chambers, any updates on that? - Numerous custom graphs enhancements (Alex Balk, Timothy Witham, others) - Gilad's stacked graphs - Changing the units of default metrics to their base (e.g. disk_free's base unit should be bytes, not GB as rrdtool will automatically append G,M,K etc.) A few of the above items may _break_ compatibility with older versions -- what are the general thought? Would it be possible to run some script to convert the RRD data? It would be a shame for users to lose years of accumulated data just to update to the latest and greatest... Furthermore, I think the webfrontend needs a face lift. The code has not really been touched for years and it could use some re-organization and at least provide a way where users can customize the graphs dynamically (location, size, title). I am thinking some AJAX could give the frontend a fresh new look. Of course, hopefully we can also re-open the gmetric repository so that we can have all sorts of user contributed plugins. Ganglia is already great software -- but it doesn't mean we can't make it better -- let's all work together towards that end!
