1 Title: New system for displaying time graphs of metrics
9 Check_MK now has a new implementation of how metrics time graphs (formerly
10 known as performance graphs or PNP graphs) are being created. Instead of
11 hand crafted PNP templates, templates are now being created by Check_MK's
14 In the new declaration file
15 <tt>share/check_mk/web/plugins/metrics/check_mk.py</tt> all names of
16 performance variables are being assigned to units, titles and colors.
17 Graph and Perf-O-Meter definitions both make use of these.
21 LI:Graphs and Perf-O-Meters are much simpler to declare
22 LI:Graphs and Perf-O-Meters now share the same color scheme
23 LI:Graphs are more streamlined
24 LI:It is now much easier to change some general properties of all graphs
25 LI:Default graphs are more intelligent
26 LI:Future addons that work with metrics data are easier to implement
28 Note: existing PNP templates have not been removed but still exist and
29 have precedence over the automatically generated ones. But they will not be
30 maintained anymore and no new manual templates will be created by us anymore.
