[rrd-developers] rrdtool fetch / JSON-Output

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Michael,

I guess adding json will help many people, so I will add it ...
(got another patch already from a few months back, but if you can
send me yours, I will be glad to take it for inspiration too :-)
(it was not attached)

cheers
