I'm definitely not one with the internals of cacti and templating. The most I've done is deconstruct the db schema in order to bulk add several thousand existing RRDs from another system... I've been running the xaprb templates for a month or so on a test 0.8.6x environment, and I'd love to pull it forward now that the spine kinks have been worked out. Apart from the spine issues and an ongoing 'show engine innodb status' deadlock oveflow we're going to try clearing tomorrow morning, the new graphs have been *great* on 8 of our production DBs. Unfortunately, the deadlock cruft is on our master production farm scheduling node, and we're really gun-shy about screwing with that one. The last time I tried being clever with it, I took $Company down for about two and a half hours. I suck at life. Baron,
