[drraw-users] External Links to Graphs

[Jonny Anderson]

I think I answered my own question. By using templates, all I need is the
template ID, which according to the documentation won't change, and then I
can use the Base option in the URL to write the path to the RRD file, which
I name by host, and also make use of the Start, End and other options to
dynamically write URLs for handy searching.

My only worry is that I might lose the template ID if my temp dir is wiped
out, but I will test it out to make sure.

If anyone has a better way, I would love to hear it.
