Currently I am using gmetric to inject the values into Ganglia and
there is no way (that I know of) that I can tell RRDTool how to scale
the unit, here's a snippet the help page of gmetric:
-u, --units=STRING Unit of measure for the value e.g. Kilobytes, Celcius
(default=`')
I suppose with the python support module in trunk, one could do some
transformation with the value you get before feeding it to Ganglia,
but I am not sure how exactly RRDTool will scale my values given in
"bytes".
Perhaps another RFE?
Cheers,
Bernard
