I have 6 rrd files, with 2 data fields per rrd file. When deciding how many graphs are needed, does Xymon look at the number of = files, or the number of fields to graph?
I suspect the number of fields.
Wrong guess :-)
If it's the graph on a status-page, the number of graphs is taken from an HTML comment "<!-- linecount=N -->" embedded in e.g. the "disk" status text.
For the "trends" page, Xymon will scan the directory holding the hosts' RRD-files, and try to map each of them to a known graph. This is done by comparing the graph-name from the GRAPHS setting in hobbitserver.cfg with the filename of the RRD-files (e.g. "disk" with "disk,usr.rrd") and then counting the number of files.
