[hobbit] Custom graphs: Changing default "Last 48 hours" timeframe

[Haertig, David F (Dave)]

Thanks for the reply.  Makes sense.  For the most part, the defaults
work perfectly fine.  It's just a few custom scripts I'm using that
could benefit from a much closer look at the data.  Setting the entire
graph timeframe down as low as an hour or two in some cases. Also
setting the vertical scale rather than allowing it to auto-scale as it
currently does.  I have one test where the data is mostly consistant but
then once a day there's a huge spike.  I don't care about the spike but
the auto-scaling accomidates it and thus compresses the scale of the
data I really want to look at.  I could clamp the collected data to a
max value in my custom script, but that just doesn't feel like the right
way to handle things.

Thanks !

They are, but you they are just defaults. The webpage that calls these
modules can set their own start/end times for the graphs, and the
current snapshot (preliminary next version) has an enhanced web UI for
the trends page that lets you choose whatever default(s) you prefer.

They happen to match how the data is stored in the RRD files, something
Hobbit has inherited from the LARRD add-on for Big Brother.
