This is very nice: you apt-get install collectd, and it's useful without any additional configuration.  (Except it provides no visualization, which is why I'm interested in facette.)\r\n\r\nI like that Facette can autodiscover all the sources and metrics from collectd, just by dropping the example collectd.json into /etc/facette/providers.  But then every user has to define their own graphs for the same collectd metrics.  I don't want to do that manually for every host!  (I'm not aggregating collectd metrics in one place for reasons.)\r\n\r\nWouldn't it be lovely if graphs/collections could be exported and imported en masse from one Facette instance to another?  (I suppose one can do that already, by calling API methods over HTTP?)\r\n\r\nWouldn't it be even lovelier if Facette came with a bunch of graphs/collections predefined?"}}
