Adding machines shouldn't require you to update the dashboard,
do you find that it does?
If you remove the RRD files for machines that are no longer
there, you shouldn't have to update the dashboard either,
however, if you want to keep the data, it is a problem.  As
long as you no longer update the RRDs, what i just discussed
in my reply to Frans Haarman would do the trick.

Thoughts?
