Hi Costa,
sorry for the direct send (an oversight).
Thanks for the script, it's perfect for adapt my chart scripts to FireQOS!
I have noted that Netdata is highly optimized, an integration with
NOSQL DB and a web front-end from multiple netdata servers would be
the "missing" part.
Thanks for the explanation. I will study this wonderful project soon.
Have a nice day
