IMHO enhancing gmetric is irrelevant for 3.1.x. Its usefulness is primarily for backwards compatibility. You can accomplish the same thing now with a C or python module. In fact you can create a single module that will discover hardware and then create metrics on the fly. In other words, discover multiple CPUs, disks, network interfaces, etc. Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
