Perhaps it is good to mention an alternative for NCV, which is the DEVMON 
format. For example, if a status message contains the following snippet:

<!--DEVMON RRD: NameA 0 0
DS:DsA:GAUGE:600:0:U DS:DsB:GAUGE:600:0:U
NameB ValueA:ValueB
-->

xymon will create an RRD named NameA.NameB.rrd containing two DS's. I use 
it often in stead of NCV.
