[Xymon] monitoring aggregated network traffic

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Yeah, when you wrote that solution like that I was afraid that's what you'd say.  :)

No problem, at least it's workable even if it is a PITA.

I was afraid You were going to ask that question. Yes, it will break 
because some of those files just do not exist, and RRDtool cannot handle 
that.

I don't have an automatic solution for that. You can define multiple 
graph definitions - one for each number of interfaces - and then use the 
"TRENDS" setting for each host to determine which one will be shown. Not 
pretty, but it works.
