<pre wrap="">I also like the ease of use of the NCV feature.
Most of the times I hand over the values as hidden html comment in my test
page:
<!-- Begin Xymon NCV section
name1:value1
name2:value2
end Xymon NCV section --></pre>

<font color="#3366ff">Perhaps it is good to mention an alternative
for NCV, which is the DEVMON format. For example, if a status
message contains the following snippet:<br>
<br>
<!--DEVMON RRD: NameA 0 0<br>
DS:DsA:GAUGE:600:0:U DS:DsB:GAUGE:600:0:U<br>
NameB ValueA:ValueB<br>
--><br>
<br>
xymon will create an RRD named NameA.NameB.rrd containing two
DS's. I use it often in stead of NCV.<br>

Hi Henrik
The NCV feature in Xymon is fantastic, and I love it.
It's a quick and easy way to populate a graph with data.
My problem with it, is it sometimes works too well.
Sometimes, we have output that contains : or = that's not part of the
graphing data, and if you are using SPLIT_NCV, it dutifully tries to
graph this information, often with woeful results.
I am looking for a feature that we can use to tag a line as "NCV leave
this alone!"
Perhaps a string of hidden characters at the end of a line, or even a
string of visible characters, which the display process can strip out.
