Custom script to monitor Flex License Manager

Thanks for the comments and hints, on my quest to monitor the Flex LM. If the Hobbit Custom Graph for Flex LM is good enough, it will be posted, preferably at the Shire or on this list.

It is mostly ready, I just need to fix a small problem, with the graphs. The problem is that there are too many lines on only one graph. I would like to have a number of graphs, each wit at most 5 lines.

I have searched this list, and the Hobbit wiki book. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/

I did not succed in finding how to get Hobbit to create multiple graphs. Below is the relevant part of hobbitgraph.cfg that I am using now. *Please note that all the data is stored in a single file. flexlm.rrd.
