Hmmm... This may be a FAQ or even a stupid question, but why is the
number of intervals (an interval length) hardcoded at all? Isn't it
possible to have this in the gmetad.conf?
The reason for this question is that we would like to have some
additional graphs: 6 hours and 10 minutes, both with a reasonable degree
of resolution.
Getting an 6-hour-graph is not too difficult; we managed to do this, but
it uses the same data density as the daily-graph. We would like this to
have the same resolution as the 'hourly'-graph (Ok, some data averaging is
necessary here, too)
Speaking of adding additional graph time intervals: It would be nice to
have this a bit more accesible rather than buried inside the source of the
web pages. Meaning: Inside gmetad.conf.
Any comments are welcome, even those explaining why this is a stupid
idea :-)
