Link bandwidth visualizations. about grafana-network-weathermap

Yeah I was thinking of a set of discrete link speed values, much like the current color legend. I think setting the thresholds manually would be fine. If there was automatic scaling I suppose it should be logarithmic by default or something like that but it seems tricky to make that neat.

Maybe something like this:

I've added per-link configuration to be released with v0.3.2. This took a little longer than expected as I had to refactor a bunch of link-related stuff to make this work properly (mainly all the calculations for fitting links next to each other). Since this refactor was the harder part, I am planning to add scaling sizes with v0.3.3.

I would be happy to add a per-link configuration option for those that want to change the width.

I wonder how you are thinking a legend might look if there were to be a scale for link sizes? That would definitely be possible to implement though would need to be planned out to work well, especially as if you have 1-100Gbps I would imagine you don't necessarily want a 1:1 correlation in link size, though you are right that there could be a similar interface for the color/load that allows you to section some range of bandwidth into some link width.

Representing link bandwidth is doable with arrow thickness.
I'm generating json config file from other sources, making this change didn't take much time.
The only thing missing would be asymetrical bandwidth but... there aren't many of these so it's not really needed.
