If the foo.rrd files do not contain the detail for the tests I would truncate foo.rrd, and recheck my [foo] graph stanza. (rather, save a copy off foo.rrd first)

It's got *some* data but it's got gaps. I dropped the test, erased the
RRD file and put it back, and I am *still* seeing gaps.

I swear my two tests are getting the exact same info:

push( @rtmstats,
" \n Total : $totalcnt \n Success : $success \n TempErrors :
$temperror\n OtherErrors : $othererror  \n TotalErrors : $totalerror
\n PercentFailure : $failure%   \n"
);
push ( @bbdata, at rtmstats);
push ( @bbdata,< SNIP lots of other stuff>);

my $bbcmd =  "$XYMON $XYMSRV 'status+12h $MACHINE.$TESTNAME  $color
$date @bbdata \n'";
system("$bbcmd");
print $bbcmd;

$bbcmd =  "$XYMON $XYMSRV 'status+12h $MACHINE.rtmstats green  $date
@rtmstats \n'";
system("$bbcmd");
print $bbcmd;

1. Do both of these graphs have essentially the same rrd configs?  

2. This would fail to provide any data if $TESTNAME did not expand, so I don't think that's it.  Still, these two statements are glued together in different ways.

my $bbcmd =  "$XYMON $XYMSRV 'status+12h $MACHINE.$TESTNAME  $color
$date @bbdata \n'";

$bbcmd =  "$XYMON $XYMSRV 'status+12h $MACHINE.rtmstats green  $date
@rtmstats \n'";
