Zero plans, sorry.

This is an internal tool that just happens to produce good looking graphs, so we released a build to let people play with it if they want to. It's not a beta of a product, more of a tech demo... if even that.

Is this going to be part of Bvckup 2 by any chance?

I am very much tempted to somehow shovel it in, but I don't think it belongs there. Perhaps only if as an Easter egg.

Think its going in this https://ccsiobench.com/

A better target would be a Grafana plugin.

Yes, I’d love to be able to do this kind of y-axis scaling in Grafana. I was just messing with a network I/O bandwidth graph in Grafana this morning and thinking about log scales. It hadn’t occurred to me to band it by binary/1024 orders of magnitude, but I like the result here.

You can do log scales in Grafana, but not with this banding thing

In servers you can take those disk IO (and many other) metrics with telegraf, store them in a local/remote (storing locally may change the disk IO measurements, but probably it will be a constant factor) influxdb, and visualize them with Grafana.

There are plenty of alternative tools for that, but the point of the article is that helps in the visualization to use a log scale.
