Different graphs under one column name

[thorsten.erdmann at daimler.com]

Hello

is there a way to have different graphs under the same column name?

I have several servers which run different applications. Now I want to 
test the application's functionality, but every application is different. 
So it generates different kind of data, eg. queues size on a mqseries 
server and hhtp requests on a web server.

The straight forward way would be to create different test columns for the 
different applications. But then I get a big table with many, many empty 
positions. So I would like to create an "app" column, but then it seems I 
can only have on graph definition per column. 

Is there a way to achieve this. Maybe create a "sub-graph" definition like 
"app.queues" or "app.httpreq".
Maybe it would be a good idea to add such a functionality to the NCV 
module. Eg. the test could add a tag to the data which is used by NCV to 
connect it to the entry in the hobbitgraph.cfg.
A cool feature would be a possibility to add different graphs to one page 
this way.

Here comes a demo test output to show what I mean
<!-- HTML comment to hide the NCV stuff from the display
[GRAPHNAME=app.IPMSPOOL]    # This could be the graph name in the 
hobbitgraph.cfg
SERV1 : 0
SERV10 : 0
SERV11 : 21
SERV12 : 0
SERV13 : 0
SERV2 : 0
SERV3 : 0
SERV6 : 0
SERV7 : 0
SERV8 : 0

Now comes the human readable part of the test
