multi data graphs, saving dashboards

[richiemarshall]

Hi,

Cube looks great and I've been playing with it for a few days now
which leads me to ask, are the following possible, and if so how?

Can I plot multiple metrics in the same graph. E.g. plot short term,
mid, term and longterm load average from collectd in the same set of
axes?

If so, how do I distinguish between them (e.g. plot the areas with
different colours)

Can I plot the same value from different hosts on the same chart? e.g.
5 min load average from host 1 and host 2 on the same axes.

How can I make a dashboard persistent? i.e. I build up a chart and
want to be able to come back and see the same set of charts, even
after I've had to restart the services.

Many thanks,

Rich

Not currently, at least using the built-in visualizations. (You can do
whatever you like using the /event/get and /metric/get endpoints, and
then writing custom visualizations in D3.) I do plan on making the
built-in visualizations more expressive in the coming months.

It should already be persistent, if you book mark the random URL it
generates when you first create the dashboard. There's no currently a
list of created dashboards (though there is a pull request you can
look at to add one, or you can use MongoDB to query the list of
dashboards). That's something I'd like to add as well.
