[Xymon] Adding a graph to test status view

It sounds like you're doing it all OK. I had a similar problem in the
past with 4.2.3. I ended up solving it by copying hobbitserver.cfg
(xymonserver.cfg) to a new file (hobbithostcgi.cfg) and changing the
devmon entries in TEST2RRD - so fans=devmon becomes fans. Then in
hobbitcgi.cfg (xymoncgi.cfg) I changed:
CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbithostcgi.cfg
--no-svcid --history=top"

It only seemed to be the =devmon graphs that needed this - cpu=la,
http=tcp, etc were OK.

David.
