I have a custom script that generates several pieces of data, which are being collected perfectly in their respective RRD files. The issue I have is that the different data that is collected are drastically different in scale to each other, to the point where if I put them on the same graphs.cfg configuration, the lesser numbers on the graph stay stagnant at the bottom of the scale. With that said, is there a way to have multiple graphs for the same column on the xymon homepage? Is it as simple as having two definitions with the same heading (as shown below)?

If you have two graph definitions with the same name, the second one overrides the first. In fact I put this to good use by re-defining some of the standard graph definitions, without having to do anything to the graphs.cfg (just an "include" line at the end).
If you have two graph definitions named (say) [graphname] and [graphname2] then you can have both of the appear on the Trends page by having TRENDS:*,graphname:graphname|graphname1,...
So what this means is, where you would normally have [graphname] shown on the Trends page, Xymon now shows [graphname] and [graphname2].
Alas this only applies to the Trends page, and not to the test status pages. But it might be sufficient for some.
