  1. Does this support reading from rrdcached instead of local rrd files?

  2. What are the benefits of the grafana plugin using this HTTP wrapper vs the grafana plugin directly accessing a local copy of rrdtool?

I'm personally new to Grafana, and I'm looking for options to upgrade my graphing UI from home rolled javascript over rrdgraph output to something with more horsepower. But I feel like Grafana won't make much sense for us unless I can vet a reliable path to the datastore. 😅

I hope this query finds you well and I look forward to hearing your perspective on the matter. ✌

1.) Not sure/can't remember. 2.) At the time it was so I could have a single server with grafana but get metrics from multiple rrd files across multiple servers.
