I am curious why <EXTRA_DATA TITLE> is necessary -- currently it seems that it is the same as <METRIC NAME> as can be seen in this XML snippet: <METRIC NAME="swap_free" VAL="1999988" TYPE="uint32" UNITS="KB" TN="81296" TMAX="180" DMAX="0" SLOPE="both" SOURCE="gmond"> <EXTRA_DATA DESC="Amount of available swap memory"/> <EXTRA_DATA TITLE="swap_free"/> Thanks, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
