[Xymon] Temperature graphs

[David Fogarty]

This sounds very promising.

I'm assuming this would mean that I would submit the data as an alternate 
test name but in the rrd script, write to an rrd file named 
"temperature.Routing_Engine_Temperature".

I'll play with this and come back.

Thanks,
Dave Fogarty
