Adding custom graphs

[Joe Acquisto]

So, got the graph to display.  For some reason the "name" that shows in the
mygraph_name.rrd files does not match what I defined and send over in my
data.  When I changed the hobbitgraph.cfg file to match the name(s) in
mygraph_name.rrd, a graph magically popped up on the appropriate hobbit
page.

However, it is blank, as far as data points go.  When I look at the rrd file
using rrdtool dump, I can see there are no data points for any of the times
I send the data over from the client. I suspect the name mismatch may be
involved.

Why would it create a different "name" in the rdd file, than what I (think)
I defined?
