Hello - I see- #16

However, I can't get this to work. I've tried in the field and in the area section... but to no avail. Where do you put the

:connected => "true",

To get connected lines? I'm using master pulled yesterday.

field :changes,
:color => "red",
:alias => "Changes",
:connected => "true",
:data => "servers.log1.redis.redis_changes_since_last_save_10_180_133_62_6379.changes"

I've not had a chance to test that contributed feature, it could be that u need latest graphite? no idea, sorry :(

Ah ok, I know my graphite supports it, since i'm plotting it that way in the Graphite browser. I'm wondering where in your DSL for a .graph it has to be to trigger that option in the URL you pull from Graphite.

You can double check the urls gdash would generate:

$ gem install graphite_graph
$ irb
>> require 'rubygems'
=> false
>> require 'graphite_graph'
=> true
>> GraphiteGraph.new("basic.graph").url
=> "title=Basic%20Graph&vtitle=percent&from=-1hour&width=500&height=250&until=now&areaMode=stacked&hideLegend=&target=alias(color(scale(sumSeries(derivative(mw*.munin.cpu.iowait)),0.001),%22red%22),%22IO%20Wait%22)"

so if you know how the url should look from testing in the dashboard you can easily verify your .graph is being correctly interpreted

So, this just started working. It seems like it goes in the field: section, which makes sense.

Thanks for your prompt responses- the above IRB will be useful in the future for testing!
