How can i hand descriptions and names (that i can read from the config file just fine) on to the writers?
currently i use (unique) hardware IDs in the type_instance field in the read callback, which then ends up as the filename of the rrd file. Of course i could switch that and use the description instead of (or additionally to) the hardware ID - but then i would actually create a hard mix of the physical sensor and its current purpose, which might change over time. so i would prefer a more flexible solution - which that is i am not quite sure. (manually renaming a rrd file to e.g. BD00000560012C28-temperature_of_secondary_exhaust.rdd" is reasonably flexible, but it requires an interruption of service. that is a serious drawback, if you have frequent changes, and many data sources.)
