Hi Enrick,

you think may be usefull to have the possibity to customize the interval in 
the creation
of the rrd file from NCV directive?
I have a lot of custom graphs on  clent data that are sending  beyond this 
intervall :-(

The problem related to graphs with 20 minutes interval is in the
creation of the rrd file

From the rrdcreate help page
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdcreate.en.html

   DS:ds-name:GAUGE | COUNTER | DERIVE | ABSOLUTE:heartbeat:min:max

The ``heartbeat'' defines the maximum acceptable interval between
samples. If the interval between samples is less than ``heartbeat'',
then an average rate is calculated and applied for that interval. If the
interval between samples is longer than ``heartbeat'', then that entire
interval is considered ``unknown''. Note that there are other things
that can make a sample interval ``unknown'', such as the rate exceeding
limits, or even an ``unknown'' input sample.

The heartbeat used by hobbit for ncv (and other graphs) is 600 (10 min)
and cannot be changed with parameters so you need to change the source
code (but it will change heartbeat for all the NCV graphs you do and
you've to remember to change it when installing a new version) or we
have to wait for Henrik to do a new rrd extendible interface for all our
special graphs cases :D
If you need to change you've to change it in the hobbitd/rrd/do_ncv.c,
search for "DS:", you'll find 2 of them they are for the default and not
default cases of ncv file creation.  I don't know if there's something
else that need to be changed but this should at least get your data
inside the rrd file.

I've a problem with data reporting in
rrd files via ncv, I've one script that report data in this way

MySQL Connection statistics

Threads = 7
Questions = 153015
Slow queries = 0</PRE>
<DIV align=left><PRE>Opens = 0
Flush tables = 1
Open tables = 32
Queries per second avg = 0.135

The rrd will get MySQLConnectionstat as the name of the
first data to
save in
the rrd instead of getting Threads.
This patch should fix it.
