Yep, it's very cool. Manuel Luis did all the hard work- he originally
posted about it on the Collectd mailing  list a few months ago.

Understood.

I haven't heard from Manuel Luis since since submitting my merge
request on Github, but there's nothing to stop us modifying jsrrdgraph
as we see fit.

My first goal is to integrate it with my Jarmon graphing
system....which currently uses javascriptRRD and Flot.

I quite like the fact that all the processing is done client
side....especially when relatively few RRDs are served with HTTP Gzip
compression.

I had thought that it might be possible to create a Javascript RRD
proxy that used XHR and byte range requests to examine the header in a
remote RRD file then download the required portion of data from the
remote RRD file.
