I've written a number of packages that use daemons and cron jobs to
collect metrics specific to a particular kind of cluster (Apache,
Postfix, MySQL), and in general these are the metrics we care most
about.  I've also written a number of pretty custom graphs that
combine a bunch of related metrics together, and put them in graph.d.
These are the graphs we're most interested in, much more so than the
memory_report and load_report supplied by Ganglia.

I can add the names of my custom graphs to get_context.php, and then
they show up in the menu at the top of the cluster view that lets me
select what graph to show for each node at the bottom.

However, it'd also be really useful to:

1. See the custom graphs relevant to a cluster show up in the cluster
   view at the top, summarizing or totaling the whole cluster

2. See those graphs in the grid view, in each cluster's summary

3. For each node, have it default to showing the graphs we deem most
   relevant to its cluster, in the first section of the node view

Are there easy ways to do this with the existing ganglia-web package?

Is anyone working on making this possible?

Note: I'll probably send some of my custom metric packages & graphs
for inclusion in contrib, but I'll be much more motivated to polish
them up for public consumption if I know people could use them easily.
