There needs to be a way to define a data block within a status message and have NCV graphing ignore everything outside of it...
   
Setup the NCV_foo setting like this:

NCV_foo="ActiveSessions:GAUGE,DisconnectedSessions:GAUGE,Group1Users:GAUGE,Group2Users:GAUGE,*:NONE"

The "*:NONE" makes the NCV handler ignore everything except the datasets
explicitly listed.

Note: you'll have to delete the current rrd file when making this kind
of change.

Thanks Henrik...I just saw that while re-reading the man page...I should know better than to do this stuff when I'm tired...Hobbit just rocks...

Just as a curiousity, can you use hobbitrrd to split out the individual datasets like the disk tests and tcp test do...so I could have termusers.ActiveSessions.rrd, termusers.DisconnectedSessions.rrd, etc?  That would be extremely useful for tests which provide a lot of differnet datapoints.  Maybe by defining the TEST2RRD like termuser=NCV:split?   I would think that would be the only component that would have to change if I have understand how that works properly.
