I am very impressed with Ganglia 3.1.7. I would like to create an addon package to facilitate monitoring of the Oracle Sun Ray Server Software and associated desktop devices.

I've already created one Python module and integrated it into gmond and gmetad. For the most part, it is working as I wanted. However, I would really like to be able to manipulate the formatting of the resulting graph(s). For example, I would greatly prefer a line graph to an area and I really need to STACK several metrics on a graph. So I have the follow RFE's:

(1) Extend the descriptor dictionary to include key=value pairs that get passed to gmetd and the web frontend allowing for specification of more of the rrdgraph formatting options. Maybe something like 'graph_type' = 'Line', 'line_color' = 'Red', 'background_color' = 'Lt Blue', etc

(2) Extend gmond/gmetad and the web frontend to interpret a descriptor that is a collection of dictionaries as meaning that the metrics described  should be stacked on one graph.

(3) Allow for collection of strings that are not reported by the web frontend but rather stored by rrdtool for other reporting tasks. For example, configuration management, in this case simple firmware version reporting, and inventory management.

Thanks for  you consideration!
