I usually don't use the metrics report, as it hides too many of the features 
available in the CGI scripts. For example, if you want a graph of a specific 
filesystem (by name), you can modify the service=paramater to contain 
disk:<path>, where <path> is the mount point, but with each '/' replaced with 
',' e.g.:

http://hobbit/hobbit-
cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=myhost.mydomain.com&service=disk:,opt&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&disp=myhost.mydomain.com&nostale&color=green&action=menu


This would give you a graph with any filesystems mounted on a directory 
matching /opt*

To see the graphs I want, I often just click the graphs on the status pages, 
and then start editing the URL (to add hosts on tests that support multi-host 
graphs etc.).
