<div>The examples you pasted in look completely correct to me. However, just to be fully with you, I'd like to ask (just to be thorough, not a jerk) regarding the term "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">The script outputs the following on the page:"</span></div>

Hi..<br>
<br>
I'm having an issue with creating a system graph in Xymon.<br>
<br>
The script outputs the following on the page:<br>
-----------------------------<br>
<br>
<br>
Fri May 7 16:42:19 SAST 2010<br>
<br>
edge01 : 5<br>
edge02 : 7<br>
edge03 : 2<br>
edge04 : 6<br>
<br>
<br>
hobbitgraph ncv:fmsconns Zoom graph <br>
-----------------------------<br>
<br>
Its a script to monitor concurrent connections so its value goes up and down.<br>
<br>
In hobbitserver.cfg, i have the following:<br>
<br>
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,cpu2=la[......],fmsconns=ncv"<br>
GRAPHS="la,disk[...........],fmsconns"<br>
NCV_fmsconns="edge01:GAUGE,edge02:GAUGE"<br>
<br>
<br>
in hobbitgraph.cfg<br>
[fmsconns]<br>
TITLE Fmsconns info<br>
YAXIS Connections<br>
DEF:pct=fmsconns.rrd:util:AVERAGE<br>
LINE2:pct#00CC00:NParts<br>
GPRINT:pct:LAST: \: %3.1lf (cur)<br>
GPRINT:pct:MAX: \: %3.1lf (max)<br>
GPRINT:pct:MIN: \: %3.1lf (min)<br>
GPRINT:pct:AVERAGE: \: %3.1lf (avg)\n<br>
<br>
On the <br>
I used the howto @ <a href="http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/howtograph.html" target="_blank">http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/howtograph.html</a> as a guideline<br>
but its clear i'm lacking some understanding. I'm guessing the contents in hobbitgraph.cfg<br>
is off as i'm doing an rrdtool dump and the output looks ok?<br>
