Take a look at the man page for xymond_rrd. The --extra-script and
--extra-tests options allow you to pass incoming reports through a script
to extract whatever you need. Your script then emits the results to put in
the RRD. There's a good example script at the end of the man page.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to graph data that is not in NCV format. I was able to do this
in BB, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on how it's done in
Xymon. The documentation at "/help/howtograph.html" seems to assume data
is always in NCV format.
Is there a way to parse it as it comes in along with the disk, cpu, and
other tests, or should I be getting data from disk.
If I'm getting it off the disk, does that mean I should enable "bbstatus"
and "hostdata" in hobbitlaunch.cfg?
Is it recommended to run a data collection script as an ext script, or
just straight out of cron.
Am I forgetting something? Is there documentation out there that I just
failed to find?
FYI, I'm running version 4.3.0~beta2.dfsg-9.1 from Debian 7 (wheezy).
Thanks,
Dave Fogarty
