I have 6 rrd files, with 2 data fields per rrd file.
When deciding how many graphs are needed, does Xymon look at the number of =
files, or the number of fields to graph?
I suspect the number of fields.
Wrong guess :-)

If it's the graph on a status-page, the number of graphs is taken
from an HTML comment "<!-- linecount=N -->" embedded in e.g. the
"disk" status text.

For the "trends" page, Xymon will scan the directory holding the
hosts' RRD-files, and try to map each of them to a known graph.
This is done by comparing the graph-name from the GRAPHS setting
in hobbitserver.cfg with the filename of the RRD-files (e.g.
"disk" with "disk,usr.rrd") and then counting the number of files.
