Data for the graphs can come from either the text you send with a
"status" message (i.e. the text you see on the status display), or from
the contents of a "data" message (which is normally used for stuff that 
you want to track without having a dedicated column on the webpage).

In other words - if you already send a status-message to Hobbit with the 
data you want to put in a graph, then you don't need to send "data" 
messages also.
