This requires some understanding of RRD and Orca.  But to actually
get it to work, you'll need to edit the

lib/Orca/Config.pm

file at the top where it sets up all the plots and how much data is
on each plot.  It's pretty well documented, so give it a shot.

Forward any changes you come up with to get these plots in the default
Orca installation.

Best,
Blair
