I tried to keep the interface simple, but I'm afraid I'm far from being
a GUI specialist.
Note that you don't have to specify any of the parameters other than the
metrics to display themselves - the existing defaults (which seemed to
me reasonable, but others may have better ideas) are good enough to
render graphs as is.
Still, if you have ideas on how to make the interface better (simpler?),
I'd be happy to get an interface design and modify the existing
interface accordingly.

You're right - I didn't create these custom graphs for this purpose, but
rather to provide a possibility for graph generation on the fly. The
current graphs displayed in the cluster overview are hardcoded into the
web frontend, so I'm not sure how we could integrate the two interfaces.
Insights on this are most welcome.

I'm looking into the possibility of saving/loading graph templates, as
I've received a few requests for this and it doesn't seem complicated to
do anyway. While this won't provide with better integration into the
current graph system, it does provide with a "configure once, use many"
functionality.

Thank you for your comments - hopefully with some work we could make
this even more useful for a broader crowd.

Cheers,
Alex
