While I realize that graphing is not one of Racktables' specialties, I
don't see why the data inside it should remain static at all. A static
documentation source is much more prone to human error and negligence
as documentation is rarely at the top of the priority list. I
certainly would prefer a graphing tool for trending and predicting
growth, but when looking for current data, Racktables seems the
logical choice.
I am curious, I haven't been able to find any documentation regarding
the development of add-ons. Would you mind pointing me in the right
direction?
