Replying to myself, in case anyone else has a similar issue
Instead of using the NCV, I just did the following:
[on the client, in addition to sending normal status, I also sent a second message via BB, a data one]
someplace inside your custom test
$DATALINE = "data $MACHINE.trends\n[customTest_$section.rrd]\n"; $DATALINE = $DATALINE . "DS:pctsucess:GAUGE:600:0:100 $pctsuc1\n"; $DATALINE = $DATALINE . "DS:pctfail:GAUGE:600:0:100 $pctfail1\n";
end DATALINE
You then sent that variable via BB command to the hobbit server
The RRD channel will then make the RRD's, and all you need to do is then define a section in the hobbitgraph.cfg, kill the hobbit_rrd process, and you are good to go. My relevant graph section looks like this (I had to make a section for A,B,C in the graph, couldn't figure out a good way to do section_*:
[customTest_A] TITLE Albany DTFTP Statistics FNPATTERN customTest_A.rrd YAXIS % DEF:pctsucess=@RRDFN@:pctsucess:AVERAGE DEF:pctfail=@RRDFN@:pctfail:AVERAGE LINE2:pctsucess#00ff33:@RRDPARAM@ LINE2:pctfail#801011:@RRDPARAM@ COMMENT:Max\t\t\t\tAverage\\t\t\tCurrent\n GPRINT:pctsucess:MAX:Success\:%5.1lf GPRINT:pctsucess:AVERAGE:\t Success\:%5.1lf GPRINT:pctsucess:LAST:\tSuccess\:%5.1lf\n GPRINT:pctfail:MAX:Fail\:%5.1lf GPRINT:pctfail:AVERAGE:\t Dropped\:%5.1lf GPRINT:pctfail:LAST:\tDropped\:%5.1lf\n
Hope this helps someone

Was wondering the best way to configure NCV for collection if I wanted to graph the same data for two sets?
Here is what I have
Section: A Percent good: 70 Percent bad: 30
Section: B Percent good: 85 Percent bad: 15
Section: C Percent good: 100 Percent bad: 0
What I want is an RRD for each Section, but I can't see how to do that from the manpage, just the straight one section part
Can anyone help me with that?
