You also need to add "mytest=ncv" into the TEST2RRD variable in
xymonserver.cfg. Without this, the xymond_rrd module won't receive/accept
the data.
If the values are not COUNTER/DERIVE in nature, you might also want to add
NCV_mytest="x:GAUGE,x:GAUGE" into xymonserver.cfg. Or SPLITNCV_mytest if
you want separate RRD files.

I'm trying to write a data collector to deliver data to Xymon through the
data channel. From my reading, it should be as simple as (from *xymoncmd*
):
$XYMON --merge $XYMSRV "data $MACHINE.mytest" <<EOD
x:3
y:7
EOD
But I can't find a corresponding *mytest.rrd* file on my server.
I haven't found any documentation that indicates I need to prepare the
server to receive the new data feed, nor that the collector must be run
from *xymonlauncher*. I'd like to prove the script before I attempt to
add it as a client task.
Help?
