Thanks Ralph!  I think this looks very promising.  I had not found that 
documentation yet.

Stef, thanks for that too.  I'll look into it as well.

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
