weathermap / smokeping

[mduling]

Howie, I know I can use smokeping with weathermap, and I'll try it eventually with hints here and there in the forums, but do you think it may be a feature sometime to select a smokeping data source in the editor as with Cacti? If not, it would be nice to have a section in the docs with a quick howto of how best to do it if you get the chance sometime.

Someday, I want to extend the datasource plugins to include a 'supplier' for the picker in the editor, so any datasource plugin can provide a list of possible sources. The thing is, for most of them the list is just a list of files from directory X, and the editor also would need to know the relevant DS names, if it's an rrd file (like smokeping).

However, I also want to rewrite the editor, so it may all wait until after that.

I'll write up a quick something on the website though.
