Re-started the hobbit rrd processes, and eventually also re-started xymon completely.
If you are getting rrd files, there is no need to restart xymon.
rrdtool dump shows this:
What does 'rrdtool fetch temp.rrd AVERAGE' give?
So, for some reason the values are not getting into the rrd files....
Note, I found that I previously had an entry in TEST2RRD for temp=devmon, so I have removed that and deleted all the rrd files (for temp) so that they would be re-created.
Did you have temp.*.rrd files before you made this ncv-based test? If so, they will be broken now (and it would have been better to use a different test name).
