I tried dbcheck.pl and am not completely sold on it.  You'll see my name in
the revision history of bb-roracle so I "eat my own dog food."

The settings are:

TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,HVAC,UPS,oradb,UPS2,UPS3,UPS4,files,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines"
GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,netstat,mrtg::1,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,HVAC,UPS,oradb,oradb1,UPS2,UPS3,UPS4,files,processes,ports,ifstat,clock.lines"

I wasn't aware of the "::1" item. I'll play with that.

Thanks for the suggestions.
