[naemon-dev] metrics enhancement

[Daniel Wittenberg]

So I was just thinking about this more generically, and was thinking, how about a new attribute to the object called something like “display” and could have it default to 1 (on) but you could set it to off in the config file to basically “hide” any objects that you just didn’t want to be displayed but still scheduled, checked, etc?  I know this would change the struct so maybe someone has a better idea how to accomplish same thing ?

Another thing that I’m seeing is a trend to anomaly detection, so in that case we wouldn’t be doing the alerting but just collecting the stats and sending it off for something else to determine if it’s an alert.  That make more sense?

Do I understand you correctly?
