I have a couple of .rrd files for a host:
   dio.1.rrd
   dio.2.rrd

I am confident they have valid data and that Xymon is able to graph their contents. If I add "dio" to the the "GRAPHS" line in xymonserver.cfg, the chart is available on the "trends" page along with the "tcp" chart.

If I then add "TRENDS:*,!tcp" to the host's line in hosts.cfg, the "tcp" chart disappears and the "dio" chart is still available. If I change it to "TRENDS:*,!dio" the "tcp" chart returns and the "dio" chart disappears.

What I'd really like is to not have this chart included on every host's "trends" page, but to have it only on a few. I thought I could do this by putting it only in the hosts.cfg for those specific hosts. But....

If I remove "dio" from the "GRAPHS" line and add "TRENDS:*,dio" to the host's line in the hosts.cfg, the "tcp" chart is shown but the the "dio" chart is not.

I can suppress the chart but not display it. What am I dong wrong?
