Feature request

Hi,

There are still several things that i miss in Cacti.
It would be nice to be able to specify more rrdtool commandline options from the Cacti graphs menu. I don't always want to use the --rigid option, or i want to use the --alt-autoscale instead of --alt-autoscale-max for instance.

Another nice feature would be the possibility to use a different sampling interval. Now the 300 sec interval is hardcoded into the scripts. I use a 60 second interval, so i had to change the default values (rrd steps and rows will also have to change then).

These are the two things i miss the most at the moment.

I have a little request,

Ability to enable/disable logging to /log/rdd.log

Or ability to switch to verbose mode, or just errors.

Cheers
Craig

Let me kill two birds with one stone:

Nossie,

I am definatly planning on adding more customizable parameters to each graph in the next version. Afterall my goal for cacti is for it to be the complete rrdtool frontend.

About '300 seconds' being hard coded in my scripts, I wasn't exactly sure where. But I'll definatly change that considering I do want to allow users to graph data at non-five minute intervals.

Craig,

Customizing the logging is another feature that needs work. I realize this myself because over time the log can grow quite large. Expect some more functionality in the next version.
