If you are expecting the number of variables to }vary from one status message to the next then you need to write your own }parsing script and store the variables in individual RRD's ala how the }disk rrd's are built.
I don't actually expect them to change, I just was able to monitor a lot more than I had originally planned, and went from 1 variable to 28. The rrd is fine, I just haven't gotten around to figuring out what to do about graphing.
}Fy first status message has a DEV line and a RUN line but it seems to }only process the DEV line. It has me stumped. I'm almost ready to give }up on the NCV functionality and write my own parsing script.
I had to enable debugging to find out why the rrd wouldn't take the new variables, but once I did the errors made it obvious. Do you have error logs? My errors included not having every variable listed correctly in NCV_afs in hobbitserver.cfg, as well as needing to start with a fresh rrd.
