Hi,

I cannot find a complete syntax information for the GRAPHS setting in 
hobbitserver.cfg.

 From hobbitserver.cfg:

# This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column webpage,
# and the order in which they appear.

 From the man page:

      GRAPHS
           List of the RRD databases, that should be  shown  as  a
           graph on the "trends" column.


We noticed the use of two separator (:) like "mrtg::1"
Can you please describe the use for this.

The double colon is historic, stemming from the BB/LARRD ancestry 
of Hobbit.

The "1" is used for graphs where there are multiple files, and Hobbit
should split them up into groups (like "disk" graphs) instead of putting 
all of them one big graph. "1" means to put at most "1" graph per
image.

And the reason it isnt documented is because it is likely to change.


Regards,
Henrik
