i always chuckle at this..  see, i wrote drraw after testing
out cacti :-)

| Some quick questions:
| 
| 1. How can I add some more colors?
| The defaults are nice, but a little harsh.
| If this is modular, I'd be happy to add a few in, I just need a pointer.

i actually have a patch from David Nolan for this, i need to
put out a new release..  tonight?

| 2. How about making an auto drop-down of DS;s?
| Yes, I can RRDinfo an rrd on the page, but then I have to type in the
| DS name I want to use.  Couldn't a list of available DS's for a given
| rrd be dropped in?

I'm not quite sure how you see this working.
Do you want the "Available Database Files" list to include
an entry for each DS for each file?
A dropped down list would require an extra step, no?

| 3. What are event files?
| The column of "event files" is always empty for me.
| Is an "event" some rrd thing I'm not familiar with?

It's not, see the documentation, under "DS Configuration".

| 4. More documentation?
| Have you thought of putting up a wiki?
| I'm sure there are people out there doing some great stuff and showing
| some complex graph configurations would be cool.

Sigh.. ;-)

Actually, David owes me a response to a private mail following
the above thread.
