WIP: Multiple values on the same graph

[ipmb]

For instance, this fine example of a fail2ban munin plugin:

[ipmb]

Yep, we need this functionality. The YAML configuration file doesn't provide a way to define multiple values yet, so we can start there. Any suggestions on how you might define a graph like this?

[supervacuo]

Good point. How about (based on the example):

"*.example.com":
    munin.run diskstats:
        name: 'disk stats (avg)'
        type: float
        keys: 
            "/.util":
                name: 'utilisation'
                assert: "{value} < 80"
            "/.avgwrrqsz":
                name: 'write queue size'
                assert: "{value} < 200"
            "/.avgrdqsz":
                name: 'read queue size'
                assert: "{value} < 200"

It's getting a little verbose, but it seems important to be able to configure name and assert per-subcheck. Presumably type needs to be set at the higher level to have any chance of getting the stats on the same chart.

This is a bit verbose but it will gives us a lot of flexibility we will also need to add alert_email.

This assumes that all the stats you want to graph come from the same Salt
command. I'm thinking that's a limitation we should accept in order to keep
things simple.

If we have to graph information from different commands, we can always "wrap" those commands by writing a salt module/function that returns their results in a datastructure. We may need to allow some sort of notation to access dict values, though (something like "{value.disk} > 200")
