1. there is a import plugin on rakctables-contrib repo, AFAIR in CSV format.
2. cacti and munin are montoring and data collecting systems, they store
data in RRD format, while ganglia is abit different. I bet extending
racktables to support url to ganglia should not be an issue, just would
need to define format how to match data between racktables and ganglia -
you may be interested in addon which links to nagios, AFAIR using hostname
About importing/exporting data from Rocks - maye it has some API which
could be queried?

locations (total about 45 racks and 15K cores) and are thinking of
using racktables as part of our internal organization and management
scheme.
A fairly large fraction of what we do is based on the Rocks cluster
management suite. Is there any experience on this list in using
racktables with Rocks clusters? A plug-in or adapter to import
racktables descriptions from the Rocks database would seem to be a
fairly natural starting point, but we don’t want to duplicate this
work if it has already been done.
not the rocks database (witch can change as it changed from 6.1.1 to 6.2)
but the snmp services that are running on all nodes ..
So, assuming that with a little bit of scripting you gather from all snmpd
information on the cluster nodes i would have the following questions :
1. is there a possibility to feed a file with information to racktables
that
will be parsed and the objects added? if yes what format is needed?
2. i seen some configurations about cacti and munin .. what they do? can
something
similar be added for ganglia? maybe to each server to be able to add a link
to the ganglia host page of that server?
Thank you!!!
Adrian
Also any hints on discovery or automatic detection (e.g., using arp)
of existing configurations would be useful. Tips for newcomers would
be appreciated!
