Hello,
I searched the web a bit and found the Xymon docs and there was mention of two ways of doing custom graphs: NCV and trends messages. NCV doesn't really suit me as my scripts have too much formatting in them and would require a rewrite to have the separate lines for values as is needed by NCV. Perhaps a rewrite is not needed. If the values to be entered in the graph are still available once the status message is build, you could add an HTML comment section to the message containing the NCVs, formatted as Xymon expects them. Additionally, you could replace the ':' and the '=' in the original status message by the corresponding HTML escape character. This will prevent the NCV module from extracting values from the original message.
That is actually a pretty interesting idea, though it ends up being about the same amount of work as using a trends message when it comes down to it (except I guess it cuts down on the number of message). I guess the NCV will use either = or : as a delimiter?
