<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=999485119-30112006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>But there is more to graphing than simply creating the RRD
files. Next you have to create graph definitions that will use your new
files, and these graphs have to work. Then you can add your new graphs to
the Hobbit server so they will show up with the associated test (TEST2RRD
variable) and/or in the trends display.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
