I really need the ability for the NCV module (or a different module) to create multiple rrd files using data from a single test, just like the way the do_disk rrd handler works.

Henrik created a patch for me so you can send "trends" to hobbit.
I was able to get the functionality I need by using the split-ncv2.patch Charles Goyard sent to the list on 3/29.07. Thanks Charles!
I must admit that I was/am a little concerned about using it because the patch hasn't been merged into Hobbit, but I really needed its capabilities and decided to give it a chance. I'm not a C programmer, but from what I can tell the patch adds the functionality I need w/o impacting the default NCV module and that was reassuring to me.
The only outstanding issue I have with the patch is that I cannot I find a way to limit the # number of lines/graph, so on one of my load balancers I have 12 lines on the same graph. Using "variablename::5" in GRAPHS in hobbitserver.cfg doesn't do the trick, but that isn't enough of a drawback to stop using the patch.
