[munin-users] Putting multiple graphs in one chart

[<Ral...@it...>]

Hello,

though I fear this is rather a question for the rrdtool users'
list
(or more a matter of reading rrdtool's docs for graphing)
I dare bothering you with this question.

I would like to place up to five graphs in one chart.

In the "How to write Munin plugins" there is an example of
charting
NIC in and outbound octets.

From that example I would gather that one needs to give as config
output repeated "{fieldname}.graph no" statements to enforce a
kind of
layered redrawing.
In the attributes' description it says that "{fieldname}.graph
yes" is
implicitly assumed.

So would something like such do?
(leaving out the other layer-irrelevant attributes here)

graph.order data1 data2 data3 data4 data5
data2.graph no
data3.graph no
data4.graph no
data5.graph no


Is it further necessary to pass graph_args to rrdtool for line
type or color selection,
or would Munin automagically chose different colors for each data
set?

Rgds
