Hi.
 Spaces are ignored in variable names, so your bladecentervolts would be;
NCV_bladecentervolts="Volts:GAUGE"
Only A-z and 0-9 are allowed in names, no underscores etc.
So basicly your option is to use a special name for each of the voltage you want to monitor in the graph and then rename them in hobbitgraphs.cfg for fancyness.
 As far as I know about letters in datastream, I think it ignores it and just yanks the value .. you could of course change your script to include a space between the wattage value and the letter W to be on the safe side.
 and HOW do I know all of this?
  My first time setup for a custom RRD graph over here aswell ... I can get all the values into RRD files pretty easy, but I just can't seem to get the graphs on the website ....
 With regards,

Subject: [hobbit] Questions about hobbitd_rrd


I'm just looking at the NCV_ stuff with the hobbit_rrd, and have some questions about it (for my first time setup) 
 
I was wondering how it would handle letters in the data stream, such as:

 
Total: 3520W

Reserved: 1223W

Used: 1223W

Remaining: 2297W

 
And also, spaces in the data, such as:

 
+5 Volts: +4.81 Volts

 
With this look like NCV_bladecentervolts="+5 Volts:GAUGE" ?
