 > So for the historical bwauth measuring graphs - I think i will generate
 historical data for them... What i do currently is place data into a
 sqlite database, and then every hour export the most recent 90 days worth
 of data in a csv for javascript graph generation. I think I will backfill
 the database... so I ought to be able to generate some one-off graphs like
 the ones you created showing historical data.

 That would be neat!

 > I'm wondering if/what is the best approach to let my consensus-health
 graphs get configurable and usable in metrics.tpo

 Fine question!  There's no easy answer, because so far we don't use
 externally provided .csv files for graphs on Tor Metrics.  But I could
 imagine doing this in the future, if the data reaches back to more than
 the past 90 days (ideally a few years back when bandwidth authorities
 became a thing).  We could simply fetch the .csv files as part of the
 cronjob that generates .csv files.  Though I'd say, for now, let's start
 with the graphs on consensus-health.tpo and see if they're as useful as we
 hope.  If they are, let's have this discussion again!
