Take a look at the man page for xymond_rrd. The --extra-script and --extra-tests options allow you to pass incoming reports through a script to extract whatever you need. Your script then emits the results to put in the RRD. There's a good example script at the end of the man page.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to graph data that is not in NCV format. I was able to do this in BB, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on how it's done in Xymon. The documentation at "/help/howtograph.html" seems to assume data is always in NCV format.
Is there a way to parse it as it comes in along with the disk, cpu, and other tests, or should I be getting data from disk.
If I'm getting it off the disk, does that mean I should enable "bbstatus" and "hostdata" in hobbitlaunch.cfg?
Is it recommended to run a data collection script as an ext script, or just straight out of cron.
Am I forgetting something? Is there documentation out there that I just failed to find?
FYI, I'm running version 4.3.0~beta2.dfsg-9.1 from Debian 7 (wheezy).
Thanks, Dave Fogarty
