I think that a status message that I have is confusing the ncv module. Based on the following message:
status vse2.sp_util green 21 Nov 2005 06:41:24 Power spool status is OK

Of course the intent is for ncv to grab the last two lines and create an rrd out of them. But the rrd gets the following information:
hobbit at hobbit:~/data/rrd/vse2> rrdtool fetch sp_util.rrd AVERAGE -r 900 -s -60m
1R49IQUEUEFILE030FU CREQ DELQ 1R49IRDRQ LSTQ PUNQ XMTQ 1R49IQUEUEFILEEXTEN DBLKGROUPSIZE 1R49IDATAFILEEXTENT

Is this really a problem or am I trying to use ncv for something it wasn't designed for? Should I stick to an 'extra' script?

I've set up a custom RRD using the Hobbit NCV facility. [It's for

It's working in that the rrd is created/updated as expected, a column
called mailtransit is created under the appropriate host and the status
of the test is displayed. However I can't get a graph to be displayed
here.
Is there a "hobbit graph mailtransit:ncv" link on your status page ? Or
a broken graph image ? Or nothing at all ?
I've cooked up a quick "howto" document on how you setup graphs with the
NCV module - you'll find it at http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/howtograph.txt
I would like some comments on this and then I'll probably include it in
the Hobbit docs.
