[Xymon] Custom script working as the builtin http test

[Vernon Everett]

Hi

I think having multiple fields called put and get will cause confusion for
the graphing module.
You probably want to have a status message that's human readable, and then
send the data you want to graph as a data message, which doesn't appear on
the test page.
If you need it on a test page, you can always send it as HTML, with a tiny
font, and black background and text.
You also probably want to modify your field names to something like
MQ1_put : 21
MQ1_get : 20
MQ2_put : 20
MQ2_get : 20
And use the splitNCV feature to generate and graph multiple datasets.
The above fields will generate 4 lines. You data will create 2, but will
drop some of the values.

Cheers
     Vernon
