multiple graphs on one page
I've been digging for a while and cannot find how I can put two graphs on one page. Kind of like the trends page.
While I see the --multigraph option, I am not certain this is what I want. Nor can I see how I could associate multiple graphs with a single page.
Thanks.
I find that --mulitgraph does not do what I thought, but does place mulitple graphs on the page I specify. However, the 5 additional graphs are void of data. Not too astonishing.
I cannot find anything that defines how to structure the graphing definition (stanza ?) to specify what goes where.

Are there no suggestions? Or, is this considered to simple and clearly documented for any response at all?

Picking this up late, sorry I've not read the whole thread.... I notice below that you write, "the 5 additional graphs are void of data." For each graph there is normally an RRD file which contains the graph data in RRD format. In a simple example, this data is just a set of NCV (Name Colon Value) pairs. For example:
foo : 989099
Further example, I send data to the server from a number of client side shell scripts reporting '$foo : $nn', etc. One of the first things to check on the server is if the data is indeed received and then what it looks like to RRD. If the graph values are not properly defined you'll end up with alot of NaN (not a number) entries in the file.
Have a look at the related RRD files to see what they contain, if they are good then getting them to graph out should not be that complex. Again, I've not read the whole thread so this may all be moot. (rrdtool dump somefile.rrd | more)

Warnock applies.
Can't offer much myself, but I would definitely re-check that the rrd files have data in them. Cheers.

There's a good reason you cannot find it - it's not possible.
The "trends" status is a special-case in the code. It is not possible to have multiple - different - graphs on one page.

Well we did find a way to do this
You do it just like adding a regular custom graph but for the data you use the other server names.
Create a custom graph
[example1] Title MultiGraphs DEF:a=servername/rrdfilename DEF:b=servername2/rrdfilename2 LINE2:a#0000FF:DataA LINE2:b#FF0000:DataB
Then in hobbitserver.cfg add the following
TEST2RRD section add the newgraph name exapmle1=ncv Add the SPLITNCV SPLITNCV_example1=testtype GRAPHS section add the newgraph name example1
Then add a placebo rrd file where you want this graph to appear example1.rrd and this graph will show up under the trends column.
We do this to compare app data on different servers on the same graph. Using the metrics function with the multigraphs will also do this but you are unable to zoom in on that graph.
