[hobbit] Custom graphs in Xymon

[Cami]

Hi Jerald,

1) Correct
2) Correct:


      Mon May 10 08:14:11 SAST 2010

edge01 : 2
edge02 : 2


Client data available
hobbitgraph ncv:fmsconns		

3) correct.
4) Correct:

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOUR `date`
$STATUS"

I've checked the rrd logs, unfortunately there's no mention of any issues
at all so i'm kinda stuck.

Thanks,
Cami
