Hello,
I hoping that someone has done this before, either through Hobbit built in graphing and status/data messages or through another means. I have data in the following format:

SERVER1 : 800
SERVER2 : 1054
SERVER3 : 10000
SERVER4 : 43

These numbers represent the load on a Citrix server, using the qfarm /load CLI. The maximum number will always be 10000 if the server is full and 0 if the server is empty.

The problem I am having in figuring this out, is that the names of the servers can change day to day, so adding all those entries as NCV GAUGE types doesn't make sense. Am I missing a way to do this?

I am also hoping to have 5 servers per graph and I have about 150 to graph.
This seems to be a good candidate for using SPLITNCV: a variable number of measurements, one per RRD with a fixed name for the dataset.

HTH,
  Wim Nelis.
