need a way to express equivalence. #89

Closed Dieterbe closed 10 years ago

Dieterbe commented 10 years ago

i want a way to express that for example servers.host.cpu.total.iowait is equivalent to the sum of server.host.cpu.<core-number>.iowait

for example collectd only reports per core, whereas diamond does both. as a user, I should be able to express I want total cpu across all cores, the backend should get all metrics for specific cores and total, and see which it returns, and build a graph definition appropriately.
