[drraw-users] drraw "cluster"?

[Joel Krauska]

I know everytime I do a feature request, I get a "Great, why don't you add that 
and send us a patch", but just to go on record, here's another idea.

I've got drraw running in multiple datacenters showing rrds that are locally collected.
(host load levels, disk usage trends, etc)

This is fairly manageable for 2 datacenters, but with more, it would be nice 
for the separate instances of drraw to connect to eachother and exchange information.

The simplest form would allow me to regex graphs and see data from a rrd at one site
in the same template as an rrd at another site. (would require some multi-site drraw 
graph, template and dashboard mixing)

The most complex form might allow me to combine rrd stats on the same graph with data 
sets from multiple locations. (would probably require some rrdtool rewrite)


It's perhaps possible to get around this using a shared filesystem for rrds, but it would
be nice to think about how drraw itself could accomplish this....

Anyone else have this problem/need?


Thanks,

Joel
