Round about line 1038 in  xymon-4.3.2/web/showgraph.c

If you just want to make the graph paper color non-white, you should only
need to add something like:

        rrdargs[argi++]  = "-c";
        rrdargs[argi++]  = "BACK#e9e9e9";

to get a light shade of grey.  If you want it configurable, there's several
places in that same file where bits need adding to be able to get options
from the graphs.cfg.

My mistake, I was thinking the background of the page that the graph was on
rather then the graph image itself.

I'm thinking you'll need to modify the Xymon code itself, as I don't recall
this being configurable.  Looking at hobbitgraph.cfg I see that has the data
and variables, but the rrdtool command needs the option set.  I don't know
what calls hobbitgraph.cfg, but I bet if you find out you'll find the answer
to your original question.

 No, Josh, was referring to the graphs generated from the rrd data.

You mean the repeated green/yellow/red background?  Just change the image
file.

<BODY BGCOLOR="green" *BACKGROUND="/xymon/gifs/bkg-green.gif" *TEXT="#D8D8BF"
LINK="#00FFAA" VLINK="#FFFF44">

I'm looking through the various cfg files, looking for a place to change
the background (canvas) color of all the generated graphs.

I thought I'd find it in xymonserver.cfg, but didn't see it.

Has anyone else figured this out before?

Thanks!
