First, sorry for the late response, I was on vacation.

What do you mean by "broken"? Do you mean non-integers? Yes, I mean non integer, e.g.: 22.3 deg or in german notation 22,3 °C

I am not sure what you are trying to depict here, are you meaning that the DS names are Ambient______20 ? The output of 'rrdtool info /path/to/temp.rrd |grep ^ds' or similar may help to illustrate more accurately. I mean, that the rrd graphs show up a line for each integer that ever has occured. e.g. if I have an output line in the temperture test of

"Ambient 20.5"

I get a line named "Ambient_____20." in the rrd graph with the value 5. So rrd recognizes the string up to the colon as the name and the part after the colon as the value. So if now the temperature changes to 21.2 I get a new line in the rrd graph:

Ambient_____20. with value 5 Ambient_____21. with value 2

Which collector are you using? I have written the test by myself and it produces an output like the standard temperature test. I therefore use the standard temperature collector.

This output works:

Thu Oct 1 08:30:59 CEST 2009 Temperature Test on webtherm1

Warning level: 28 C Alarm level : 30 C

Device Temp(C) Temp(F)

green Webtherm1 24 75

This output does not work:

Thu Oct 1 08:30:59 CEST 2009 Temperature Test on webtherm1

Warning level: 28 C Alarm level : 30 C

Device Temp(C) Temp(F)

green Webtherm1 24.5 75.5
