About the part where one can associate 'friendly' titles to metric names:

Let's say I have two clusters of boxes, (web1 and web2) but they both have some 
similar custom gmetrics, say, apache_bytes. Would I be able to title the 
apache_bytes of web1 "FrontEnd Web Bytes" and apache_bytes of web2 "Static 
Image Web Bytes" ? and if so,
what does that mean for when those metrics are rolled up into the grid view ? 
are apache_bytes from both web1 and web2 put together (like it is now ?) 

I guess what I'm asking is...is the title used for anything but display ? The 
reason I'm asking is that I'd like to be able to use the same gmetric script 
for graphing apache metrics everywhere, but since we have clusters of 
webservers doing different things, it would be helpful to slice them up by 
either gmetric name *or* title. ?

Maybe I'm the only one with this use case, or I'm misunderstanding the idea 
behind "titles"; both are equally possible. :)
