<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It’s getting confused because you aren’t sending your data in the format it wants, where the label /colon/value are the only things on the line for the NCV module to capture. I would break it up into two files,
the status message with HTML formatting and removing the colons, and the data message with just the label/colon/value on a line. Not sure how you send a data message though as it just creates files so you’ll have to figure that part out as all mine are under
Linux. FYI, RRD dataset labels are limited to 19 characters. It will truncate the label at 19 which could result in duplicates.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F497D">My tests all send status messages using HTML formatting, being very careful not to send a colon anywhere in the status report so as not to confuse the NCV module. You can use HTML formatting
for colons, tables, etc in the status messages and they will be passed through to the browser and display properly. I will then send a second data only message with the NCV format for the NCV module to pick up. Good practice for me always has been to include
a blank line before and after the message body in both status and data messages. It used to be required due to a bug if I remember correctly, not sure if it still is but I always do it anyway out of habit and don’t have any issues.
