The graph def references a bind.rrd file, but the default dns test

think you need to use the dns=TYPE:lookup tests to get that data.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I just looked at do_bind.c file
in the latest snapshot and I know why bind.rrd isn't being generated:

int do_bind_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp)
{
        errprintf("bind rrd not implemented\n");
        return -1;
}
Absolutely correct. The "bind" graphs are fed by the LARRD bind-larrd.pl
script, and since noone has complained until now, I was fairly sure it
wasn't being used by anyone.
That doesn't mean that noone *wants* to use it ....

We would like to be able to graph the bind performance stats, but don't want 
larrd ...

I may just do an extension script for use with ncv (and allow the hobbit user 
to trigger a stats dump via a separate dns key, or via sudo).

Buchan
