<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>After half a day searching for the problem, why my custom
graph for my test isn’t showing properly in xymon, I’m reaching out
to you guys.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have googled quite a bit but none of the explanations
and/or suggestions (which I all tried) are working for me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is probably something stupid I’m missing or doing
wrong but I’m not able to put my finger on it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Problem:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a custom scripts, that runs about every 5 min, that
gives following output in xymon: (the open threads line shows as a separate
line in the source html)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The number of open threads can vary from 0-500.<o:p></o:p></p>
