Alternatively, a method to mark a section as NCV data, so that other extraneous data are not misinterpreted. Could be escaped in markup to avoid being rendered, like so:
last update at 10:43:16 <!-- ---NCV-BEGIN--- --> apples: 3 oranges: 7 <!-- ---NCV-END--- --> date of update: 2014/4/1

Hi Henrik
The NCV feature in Xymon is fantastic, and I love it. It's a quick and easy way to populate a graph with data. My problem with it, is it sometimes works too well. Sometimes, we have output that contains : or = that's not part of the graphing data, and if you are using SPLIT_NCV, it dutifully tries to graph this information, often with woeful results. I am looking for a feature that we can use to tag a line as "NCV leave this alone!" Perhaps a string of hidden characters at the end of a line, or even a string of visible characters, which the display process can strip out.
Regards Vernon
