NCV module doesn't seem to accept GAUGE
I have created a test to check the SMTP queues on a Windows box using WMI. I have added the appropriate ncv settings to the hobbitserver.cfg file and the also created the definition for the graph in hobbitgraph.cfg. I am getting the graph to display on my status page but the lines are all flat. I used the rrdtool to dump the results of my rrd file and it looks like all of the data sets are being entered as DERIVE although I specified GAUGE. Here are some of the output.

Is it the formatting of your email client, or are you missing a newline between NCV_ExchDB and NCV_smtphealth? Is NCV_ExchDB's gauge working?
