Hello -

I recently added a few custom tests to my 4.3.4 installation and although the tests show up fine, the graphs are totally broken on the new tests... (All of the built in tests are working ok..).. In looking through the mailing list I was able to find several entries that said "try this" and "try that" however so far nothing has worked. (On a related note, the slab demo on the xymon site is experiencing similar issues..)

Here is the information on the system....

Operating System: Ubuntu 11.04 64b Xymon Version: 4.3.4

Data is going into the database.....

Any suggestions on what I can try next?

Thanks for the help -
