One of my scripts had something like
OUTPUT="$(echo "${OUTPUT}"|sed -e 's/:/\:/g')" to convert all the colons I wanted to hide to the corresponding entity name, which wouldn't cause that problem. (OUTPUT would be concatenated with the graphing data later in the script) Replacing = too would just mean adding to the sed command: -e 's/=/\=/g'

Hi Henrik
The NCV feature in Xymon is fantastic, and I love it. It's a quick and easy way to populate a graph with data. My problem with it, is it sometimes works too well. Sometimes, we have output that contains : or = that's not part of the graphing data, and if you are using SPLIT_NCV, it dutifully tries to graph this information, often with woeful results. I am looking for a feature that we can use to tag a line as "NCV leave this alone!" Perhaps a string of hidden characters at the end of a line, or even a string of visible characters, which the display process can strip out.
