I'd love to know why that is working when I can't get my CPU data to 
feed through unless I remove ALL other text on the page except for the line:
cpu : {CPUTotal5Min}

I was trying to send the CPU percentage data to the normal cpu column 
and have it create the larrd graph below. However, because Hobbit by 
default is looking for "la" for load average and not a cpu percentage, I 
decided to just make another column called cpu_p using NCV and have 
devmon report to there. It works, but only if I don't have any other 
info like the status color, etc. I guess I'll just send the actual 
status to the regular CPU column.
