[Xymon] Custom Graphs

Perhaps a rewrite is not needed. If the values to be entered in the graph are still available once the status message is build, you could add an HTML comment section to the message containing the NCVs, formatted as Xymon expects them. Additionally, you could replace the ':' and the '=' in the original status message by the corresponding HTML escape character. This will prevent the NCV module from extracting values from the original message.

HTH,
  Wim Nelis.
