Multiple graphs on single monitor page

Is this possible?  More information.  I've installed this monitor (http://www.trantor.org/theshire/doku.php/monitors:mpstat) for tracking usage on individual processors in a multiprocessor system and it is running/collecting data and updating the rrd files.  I now want to have the 4 graphs that are defined/generated on the single page when you click on the 'mpstat' link for the individual node.  The documentation on the page above says to update the bb-hosts entry with:


# mpstat:mpstatusr|mpstatsys|mpstatwt|mpstatidl

I did that and didn't see any graphs at all.  The four entries following the mpstat: are the names of the graph definitions in hobbitgraph.cfg.  What I've done to get something working was to add entries in the hobbitserver.cfg for the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS definitions.  It seems that only one 'mpstat=mpstatxxx' definition will display on the monitor page even if I add the others.  There also seems to be some tie that I'm not grokking where I have to put matching 'mpstat' and 'mpstatxxx' entries in the GRAPHS definition to get the graph to show on the monitor page which doesn't seem to follow the documentation in the .cfg file.

However it is done, can I get to the point of having the four graphs displayed on the single monitor page?  Has anyone else done this?  I'm tired of pulling my hair out.

Thanks in advance,
Ron.

It probably needs to be:

TRENDS:*,mpstat:mpstatusr|mpstatsys|mpstatwt|mpstatidl

Then the graphs will appear on the trends page.

Thanks, the TRENDS assignment got it working.  About the multiple graphs on the monitor page.  The 'disk' monitor displays more than one graph depending on the number of disks being monitored.  One of our file servers has 4 separate graphs tracking ~20 disks.  Is this a built-in feature?

Yes, it's hard-coded. However, you can get multiple graphs for custom
statuses with --multigraphs in hobbitcgi.cfg. See the man page for
hobbitsvc.cgi.
