Verification of process for added graphs

I have created client code for a couple of zSeries operating systems.  I would like the information generated by the clients to be graphed on the status pages for the tests related to those clients.

I want to verify that the process to do this is to use the 'data' message and process it with special scripts in HOBBITD_LARRD.  If this is not the preferred method, please let me know what is.

Thank you.

Data for the graphs can come from either the text you send with a
"status" message (i.e. the text you see on the status display), or from
the contents of a "data" message (which is normally used for stuff that you want to track without having a dedicated column on the webpage).

In other words - if you already send a status-message to Hobbit with the data you want to put in a graph, then you don't need to send "data" messages also.

It sounds like all of the other info on the hobbitd_larrd.8.html manual page then applies.

Thanks for your help.
