Take a look at the calendar add-on for ganglia-web -- it might do what you wanted: http://bugzilla.ganglia.info/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176 (note this is already available in ganglia trunk, so you could just check out the code from ganglia trunk and build/install just the ganglia-web portion). > Are the parameters to the PHP scripts documented anywhere?
