Simplify creating templates etc

I've created a SNMP module for ZFS (I previously had made Bind9, Bacula
and some other minor modules) that uses pass_persist and 'tablified'
data.

If anyone is interested - https://github.com/FransUrbo/snmp-modules.


It's been three-four years since I wrote the last one and I remember that
writing the module and the XML file(s) was _easy_ compared to configuring
Cacti to output graphs from this...

Eventually I succeeded and if I remember correctly, the exported template(s)
couldn't be imported into another machine/installation. Something about some
UUID/hash mismatching or something like that - https://github.com/FransUrbo/snmp-modules/blob/master/bacula/cacti_data_query_snmp_local_bacula_statistics_query.xml



I've googled and looked at the documentation on cacti.net, but the part
about indexed SNMP data is very sparse. And every single one I found is
almost word-by-word identical! And even worse, they're almost word-by-word
identical to the 'postit info documentation' I wrote for my self at the
time - https://github.com/FransUrbo/snmp-modules/blob/master/bacula/README.txt :).


So what's the simplest/fastest way to go from a number of SNMP tables
to actual graphs?
