How are you retrieving the data from the morningstar to feed into the
program? http interface?

I'm fine with using curl, sed, regex in a shell script to graph arbitrary
data from things that present more information via a non-SNMP interface...
Been doing that for a while with external sources like weather data, I-5
traffic, etc.
