I'd played a bit with the vrule, but it is hard to get it to 'work' like one would expect (missing data for some reason). I'd taken some data from our problem ticketing system and tried to overlay that on our graphs using the vrule. Coverting human date/time to epoch time isn't all that hard....just a pain for a one shot build.
I'd also played with the idea of a 'meta' data file that would be associated with the png, that would contain the text/numeric content of the legend that would then be 'searchable' without needing to read from the RRD (which could have been updated since the last graph was created). This meta data would be overwritten when the next graph was generated. This wasn't hard to put into rrdtool. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Holsman Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 7:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [rrd-developers] similie's timeline/timeplot Hi all, I was wondering how easy it would be to integrate a date-based 'event' thing into the graphing functionality of RRD, similar to what timeline does for timeplot (see http://simile.mit.edu/timeplot/ and click on one of the red bars) I was thinking we could have a text file sitting next to the RRD which had timestamp from, timestamp to, text and it could get pulled in to say put a star/point on the graph saying 'something happened here' (and no I have absolutely no idea how hard this kind of thing would be to implement in a fast way, or with multiple time horizons) regards Ian _______________________________________________ rrd-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-developers _______________________________________________ rrd-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-developers
