Hi all, 
I have been trying to modify the default look of the graphs generated by xymon without any success. I have tried to play with hobbitgraphs.cfg, changed few things but it sill does not want to generate better looking graphs. 
I have seen many nice graphs generated by RRD but can't make it work with xymon. 
Do anyone knows about any decent tutorial somewhere online? 
Many thanks. 
Oliver

What version of Xymon are you running? Are you compiling from source? If so, there is a patch available to allow you to use RRD command-line parameters.

Hi Malcom, 
I use 4.3.0~beta2 version of xymon, installed by apt-get so not compiled from source. 
Many thanks.

You may have to wait until it's available for Debian packages and you can upgrade then. I don't think there's any way to do what you want otherwise.

Malcom 
Well, I have no problem to compile it from the source if required. Please, would you mind helping me what needs to be done? There are such an awesome graphs which can be done and I feel such a beautiful product as Xymon is deserve to show everything in the best light. 
Many thanks.
