Couple of small feature suggestions
- Would be nice if we could rely on a
http://www.observium.org/observium-0.16.1.7533.tar.gz
in parallel to the standard
http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz
for the varius dpkg/debian/freebd/brew port collections.
- Would be nice if the block in defaults.inc.php with:
// Location of executables $config['rrdtool'] = "/usr/local/bin/rrdtool”; ……. $config['file'] = "/usr/bin/file”;
could be overwridden by a <ROOTDIR>/config.os.php - and perhaps itself live separate from the defaults.
As this allows a puppet/ansible/chef recipe (or the various ports collections) to manage this file as an OS specific thing; and keep the per system configs strictly in config.php.
Making the latter the only thing to preserve across migrations (and not having to cross check it for OS specific ‘new’ things).
With more and more people using things like vagrant/docker/etc - that sort of abstraction becomes useful.
