In the hours since I posted this, most of the graphs have showed up.

I had been concentrating on the "process" graph however, which hasn't
appeared, but I now realize that it's probably for the same reason that the
"procs" page is grey, and displays a "no process checks defined" notice.
(slaps forehead)

I'll configure process checks and that should cause the graphs to appear.

In short, it all seems to be working even better than I originally thought.

Sorry for the noise on the list.
