  Description     : web frontend for graphing .rrd files generated by collectd

Features:

1) Speed

Collect Rack aims to be significantly faster than existing web frontends
for collectd.  By the magic of using puma as the default webserver collect
rack can be aggressively parallelized.  The application also interacts
with the official Ruby bindings of librrd instead of spawning a process,
and the output is streamed through a pipe directly to the webserver.  When
rendering many graphs Collect Rack has about twice the speed of CGP.

2) FLUSH

It can also utilize the unixsock plugin to flush the caches of the plugins
its graphing.  This means that your graphs will always be up-to-date even
with a large CacheTimeout setting.

3) collectd.conf parsing

CollectRack can parse your existing collectd.conf file to draw
configuration values from.  You can even configure CollectRack specific
settings via your existing collectd.conf.
