Hi,

I'm trying to follow the Help -> Custom Graphs instructions as follows:
I've written a script to collect data, asked hobbitclient to run it
regularly.
Checked that the data is arriving on the xymon server

Added this line to indicate that the numbers are absolute values, not
always increasing values (default of DERIVE)...
hobbitserver.cfg:NCV_temp="*:GAUGE"

Re-started the hobbit rrd processes, and eventually also re-started
xymon completely.

If you are getting rrd files, there is no need to restart xymon.

rrdtool dump shows this:

What does 'rrdtool fetch temp.rrd AVERAGE' give?

So, for some reason the values are not getting into the rrd files....

Note, I found that I previously had an entry in TEST2RRD for
temp=devmon, so I have removed that and deleted all the rrd files (for
temp) so that they would be re-created.

Did you have temp.*.rrd files before you made this ncv-based test? If so, they 
will be broken now (and it would have been better to use a different test 
name).
