Re: [Bigsister-general] Writing a custom test with performance data

[Steve Fox <suppressed>]

This is great, I will be following this thread very closely.  I have written 
numerous bash and python tests such as number of database connections from a 
web server to a db server.  I am able to get status lights but have yet been 
able to graph the incoming data.

I've also subscribed to the bigsister-devel so as not to miss anything!

Thanks everyone for your collaboration.
