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.
<br><br>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.<br><br>If anyone has a better way, I would love to hear it.<br><br>Jon<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br><br>I apologize if this has been answered already, but I could not uncover it by searching the archives.<br><br>I would like to be able to link to graphs externally by names that I know in advance (some combination of graph type and hostname), but the graph names in drraw are Id's that I don't think I can know a priori, and they don't necessarily seem to exist until requested. I am tasked with identifying network performance anomalies in a separate database and system from RRD, but I want to be able to link to graphs that I am creating with templates in drraw from RRD's I am creating with the external DB's data.
<br><br>Is there a way to do this?<br><br>Thanks very much in advance.<br><br>Jon Anderson<br>
