I would like to collect a few statistics via gmetric, and, after prototyping, I have some questions:
1. When I ran gmetric for the first time, the result was an RRD database created on my gmetad machine for that metric. Unfortunately, it created a "GAUGE" value, when a "COUNTER" value is appropriate. How can I predefine what should be created, so I don't have to clean up after the fact with rrdtune. 2. I'd like to control whether a bar or line graph is used for my metric, as well as colors, legends, etc. Where is this controlled? 3. I'd like to capture several metrics over the same time period, and graph them on the same graph. How do I set up the rrd to contain all my data, or how do I combine multiple rrds on the same graph? 4. Once all the nodes in the cluster are producing my new metrics, I'd like to aggregate them for the cluster. Not sure where this is controlled. 5. Finally, I'd like to have the new metrics appear in the metric dropdown on the various web pages. I'm pretty sure I'm missing some config option, but I can't find anything appropriate in gmetad.conf or gmond.conf. I'd appreciate a pointer or two.
