I see that there is a xymond_rrd "--processor=/path/to/script" option. In theory, could that be used to send all metric data to graphite? If so, is there also an option to disable Xymon RRD graphs? If I had to, I could probably create some sort or RAM disk for RRD graphs and have them contain 1 metric each, but would be nice to just disable RRD. I found people have created monitoring of Graphite files and send results to Xymon, but I want to store Xymon metric data in Graphite.

Thanks Craig

That's exactly what you'd want to do; a while back I was running an RRD processor pipe into an OpenTSDB instance running locally (the processor fixup script did some trivial, and cheap, rewriting) the same way.

In terms of preventing xymond_rrd from doing the actual writing of rrd files (even though you're using it for raw data parsing still), I agree that that's annoying.

I've only done cursory testing on it, but the attached patch adds a ---no-rrd option to xymond_rrd, which should do what you want.
