I am learning (very slowly) that using underscores (_) in column names can
be a very bad thing.

This really comes to light when I try to graph the data from one of those
pages...
If the data requires an NCV_* entry in xymonserver.cfg, I never get any data
in the server's rrd data folder.

Is there a quick way to get around that (I am apparently really fond of
using underscores in names)?
It's not something that was deliberately broken, but from a quick look at the
code I don't really see why it would break.

Can you provide an example for one of these, with the data that you send for
the NCV handler, and the NCV_blabla setting you're using ?

Is the RRD file created, but doesn't get any data, or does it never 
appear?

What's in the rrd*.log files, if anything ?

What Xymon version are you trying this with ?
