I'm in the process of converting Big Brother tests to XYMon and would like to enable RRD/graphics for these tests.
Several of these tests present date/time information which is important.
As a workaround for one test I have replaced the colon on a HH:MM:DD formatted date with a dot, but it doesn't really look like a time anymore.
Is there a way to have NCV ignore colons (and only use "=")?
Is there a way to have NCV ignore a line (which might contain colons)?
Can I use Data messages in such a way that the corresponding Status message is not parsed?
Might there be some other mechanism entirely?
