I don't think you can do this within PNP itself, but I've recently
been using drraw (http://web.taranis.org/drraw/) to draw individual
graphs of metrics from multiple PNP .rrd databases.  It seems to work
very nicely, and has a handy dashboard feature so you can group a few
graphs on the same page too.

There are some patches for drraw to make use of the PNP templates but
I confess I haven't managed to get those working yet (not sure I need
to either).

Cheers,

Jim
