Color blind access to graphs
Hi everyone,
One of the end users in my organization is color blind. That makes reading the various graphs in Xymon very difficult. I know it's possible to use multigraphs to keep the datapoint limit per graph at 4 or less, but is it possible to make it default to 1 datapoint per graph, or even just for specific graphs?
Thanks!

Wouldn't it be smarter to use colors that are distinguishable?

I didn't think we had any control over the colors of the default graphs.

The only colors he sees are grayscales. That's kind of hard to pick out 4 distinguishable grayscales in the same graph.

Don't disagree, re: graphs...
I had a former coworker that was Red/green colorblind and I had to create a set of icons for him. I haven't put them out on xymonton but would be happy to if interested (if Xymon supported glyphicons natively, would've been easier).

The rrdtool has an option to use dashed lines for the graphs, but that could wipe out important spikes...
