Good idea to add the end date/time to graphs larger than default (like when you zoom an individual graph to save it). I think we can do this in graph.php. It is not needed on default graphs since you see the time on the HTML page and don't need this duplicated on all the graphs. >graph was produced :-). But if clutter doesn't matter, why not do both? I Where do you draw the line? I want to know average value of all metrics plotted, not just CPU or load. Why is memory less important? If we put all the numbers in text on the left, then they have to be labeled, duplicating the labels already in the graph legends. Since the graphs already have color-coded legend labels, it seems logical to add the mean values right there where the user is already looking. In some cases, this adds one text line (14 pixels?) to the image. In other cases it adds none. Either way, the fact that I can instantly see the average value of all the colored squiggly lines and areas, instead of having to eyeball a guess against the Y axis, makes up for the 14 pixels lost in the plotting area. We could even add 14 pixels to default graphs if that is a concern. It would be harder to go looking for the corresponding number in the text to the left of all the graphs. >do not believe that the additional overhead is such a problem. True. But it seems there has been some questions as to whether the calculations are being done correctly, and where the data comes from (load or CPU). That's why I think it is cleaner to leave only the current load data in the text, and add all average numbers to the graph images where the source is obvious. -twitham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
