"- Added performance data graphs to notification emails [TPS#12650] -BH"

This is super cool, and I've wanted this for ages, but ... I can't find where to enable it. I've had a look through this forum, and the kb, and I'd love to enable this for our notifications.

Any pointers?

Looks like it's hiding under Admin > System Extensions > Manage Components > Performance Graphing.

Sweet! Enabled and tested and it works. This will be fantastic for a bunch of stuff at 3am when the phone starts making noises.

Unfortunately, it only graphs the first metric. On of our guys wrote this [1], which exposes multiple metrics as a single check.

Can I request that the Performance Graphing component be updated to have the same graph as in the webui and be multimetric be added to the roadmap?
Or, is it on the roadmap already?

As an aside, it's cool to note that there's some work in this area previously, with a thing called nagios-herald[2] by etsy. It's an interesting look at what and why context is useful for alerts. It's not hard to imagine that this sort of thing coupled with reply-by-email to alerts could be a very effective first line response for an on-call person.
