In Nagios XI we have never used this mode where there are multiple RRD files per service and as such Nagios XI EXPECTS there to be just 1 RRD file per service.
Understood.
While I agree, it simply is not available currently.

And I would put in a feature request for you however, before the system would be rewritten to accommodate this we will already be moving a different direction to accommodate dynamic amount of datasources and moving away from RRD files all together.
This is interesting. Can you tell more about what can be expected?

Hm... According to the roadmap, Nagios XI 6 is planned for no sooner than 2019 Q2, so it is at least 1 year from now.

Considering that this is a long way down the road (and also that many of the Nagios XI 5 installations will probably be in use even after Nagios XI 6 is released, maybe it would still be a good idea to file a feature request for supporting multiple RRD files. Even though my tests were not extensive at all, but what I experienced showed that most of it is already working, the only issue is with data presentation and graphing.

Maybe this could be added as an experimental feature to one of the upcoming versions of Nagios XI 5.
