In do_ncv.c, I see this :

If I understand correctly, that means the program will stop processing
the status file if it encounter a "@@\n" line. Well, I tried and it
seems to work that way (I have a status showing something like two counters
followed by a bunch of SNMP values that I don't want to graph). It do
not seem to be documented.
There's a reason why it isn't documented: You shouldn't use it.
The "@@<newline>" marker is actually used for something completely
different, and embedding it into your data stream is generally not
a good idea. In fact, I'd expect some complaints in your log files
as a result of this.
Hobbit 4.2 has a different solution to your problem. You can setup
exactly which values you want to graph, e.g. in your case it would be
NCV_something="inreqs:COUNTER,outreqs:COUNTER,*:NONE"
and it would track only those two values.
