[Xymon] sar, iostat and subgraphs

[Stefan]

Hi all..

I'm probably reinventing the wheel, but i've been looking too long and think
i might be missing something.
Running xymon4.3.2 server on linux and the client is hobbit 4.2.0 on HPUX
11.11

I need to get some kind of sar -d or iostat graph going, which I've done
halfway sucessfully.
I don't know whether there already is a scrupt that does this, but the only
mention I find is bb-sar which i battled witha bit
and then decided to write my own one.

I run sar -d for 5 minutes, take the averages, and parse them to the hobbit
server like this:
c31t6d0 : 98
c34t6d0 : 10
c14t2d5 : 0
c14t2d4 : 0
c14t5d1 : 0
c14t0d0 : 77
c14t0d1 : 63
c14t6d7 : 54
c14t7d0 : 25
c14t7d1 : 98
c14t7d2 : 49
c14t1d2 : 40
c14t5d0 : 0


This is just the "percent busy" on the disk.

Currently i'm getting all 13 values in one graph, which is a mess.

All 13 values are in one RRD file.

How do I split them up like the page for disk, where each graph has 4
trends?
Also I see mention of iostat here and there, but only in sun-os and irix
