The datapoints should be the same as they are in a device template. While there 
is no GUI for selecting from existing datapoints, Zenoss will autocomplete the 
datapoint name for you.

Here's an example based on one of my graphs:

 * Pick some class of machines, say "Cluster Nodes" as my collection.

 * Create a graph definition called "cpu". You can leave all the fields here as 
default or modify them to suit your need.

 * Click the arrow under Graph Points and select "Add DataPoint..." For the 
name, type "ssCpu " and you'll get a list of datapoints. Select 
"ssCpuUser_ssCpuUser". This will be the "ssCpuUser" datapoint from the 
"ssCpuUser" graph of the device template. You should be able to leave all the 
values in the next screen as defaults, though for this example changing the 
Line Type to "area" and Stacked to "true" works better.

 * Save the datapoint.

 * Create a new graph group. Call it whatever you like. Select the "cluster 
nodes" collection, the "cpu" graph, and choose "All devices on a single graph".

 * Save the collection.

* Now you should be able to view a single graph that shows the total CPU use 
for the group of machines.

Give this example a try with some collection of servers or something. It should 
work and give you a feel for how the multi-graph module works.
