[Xymon] Devmon on Xymon 4.3.2 - if_load and temp issue for all devmon hosts

I've also run into the GRAPHS= quirk where a graph won't appear
on it's status page until it's added to GRAPHS= (for a custom
graph I have).

Since GRAPHS= is commented as being for the trends page and not
for status pages, I would think this to be a bug.  But, I wasn't
able to find a bug report for it.  Should there be?

(I'm using Xymon 4.3.0-0.20101114.beta3 on CentOS 5.5.)

What I found on my system was if I did not add this to the
GRAPHS= section it would not generate the graphs on the test
page.

Also make sure devmon::2 is in the Graphs section.


I have found the products are not completely stable. I had to
pick and chose what graphs I wanted. If I had to many Devmon
based graphs it would break one or two others. I only discovered
this when adding my own tests to devmon. If you run what ships to
it and make the additions as shown above it should run.


Also you may need to the CGI_SVC_OPTS setting in the
cgioptions.cfg file. Here is a sample of what I have added:


# svcstatus.cgi options for a normal (current) status display

CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=$XYMONENV --no-svcid --history=top
--multigraphs=disk,if_load,itp_msu,if_dsc,temp"

The plot thickens

i compiled this on production made all modifications

moved all my data over and everything works except for if_load
and temp. devmon is pulling the data.

here are my rrddefinitons for the above.
