Tag to make NCV engine ignore status text

Looks like this is formally documented in xymond_rrd(8) man page (and
there's more options to use too):


       Any  lines  in the status message prepended with a "<!-- ncv_skip
-->" will be skipped by the module. This can be used to prevent unneeded
RRD files
       from an existing dataset from being created.

       A line prepended with a "<!-- ncv_skipstart -->" will be ignored,
along with all subsequent lines until a line starting with "<!--
ncv_skipend  -->"
       is found, at which point processing will resume. This can be used to
ignore explanatory or other text with a mostly-ncv message.

       "<!-- ncv_ignore -->" can be used to ignore certain text at the
beginning of a line, up until a closing '</-->' tag on the same line, at
which point
       the line will continue to be processed as usual. Wrapping is not
supported; but skipstart/skipend can be used to handle multiple lines.

       A bare "<!-- ncv_end -->" on its own line will stop further NCV
processing of that message.

       All of these ncv_ terms are case-sensitive. Note that if you have
full control over your NCV output, it is most efficient to have NCV data
near  the
       top of your message and use "<!-- ncv_end -->" once your data is
complete.

If you want to have RRD graphing ignore the data, but still display it on
the web page:

Use

<!-- ncv_skip -->

at the start of the line to skip the whole line.

Or use

<!-- ncv_ignore --> </-->

to ignore only certain parts of the line. I'm not sure if this works for
multiple lines or not (I've only used it to ignore parts of a line).

Hope this helps!

Hey everyone,


I know there’s a tag that I can include in status messages so xymon
ignores all the text between the tag and /tag, so that the values don’t get
picked up by the NCV engine.  But I can’t find that tag anywhere.  Can
anyone remember what it is?


Thanks!
