Well-known plugin categories

A plugin that outputs a graph_category attribute will get the graph grouped with other graphs with the same category. This table lists some well-known graph categories and some example data sources suitable for the different categories.

ApacheAll kinds of Apache measurements
BindAll kinds of BIND measurements, e.g. number and types of queries.
DiskDisk measurements (disk space, free inodes, throughput etc)
EximExim measurements
MysqlMySQL measurements
NetworkNetwork efficiency, bandwidth, amounts of data transported etc
NFSFIXME
OpenLDAPDifferent aspects of the OpenLDAP server, e.g. number of queries pr second and the degree of indexed values
OtherThe default if no graph_category is set.
PostfixPostfix measurements: Mail throughput, mail queues, etc.
PostgresqlMeasurements on Postgresql database behaviour.
ProcessesProcess and kernel related measurements.
SensorsTemperatures, voltages, fan speeds. Note that disk temperatures (read through smartctl) are also classified here.
TimeNTP measurements
VserverVserver measurements

Should categories be more generic? ie. instead of "postgresql" and "mysql", why not "database"? Instead of Postfix and Exim, why not "Mail"? That would facilitate classification of new plugins (e.g. where do I put "amavis" or "spamassassin" filters? they would go well into "Mail", otherwise I need a new category), and would also make the whole thing more accessible, as people will understand more "Mail" than "Exim". -- TheAnarcat
