Hi, Before upgrade to hobbit server I try bbgen 3.5. I am very impressed but one thing I can not get to work. I want to add extra graphs in 'trends' for some hosts. Have "LARRD:*,postfix" in bb-hosts and list all my extra graphs in LARRDS (in bbdef-server.sh). I get the postfix graph on the 'postfix' page but not on the 'trends' page. //benny

RRA definitions for rrds?

Hi, So I've gotten some new data being graphed in Hobbit. However, I've got a request to set it up in such a way that I don't lose granularity. Basically I want to be able to define the rrd with 2 years worth of data points. Is such a thing possible in Hobbit? -- Bruce Z. Lysik <blysik at shutterfly.com> Operations Engineer

Cool. Were you able to fix this in RC4? Because I just installed RC4, and it looks like it's still there. Or at least a similar problem is. At the moment I have three disabled purple monitors showing. -- Bruce Z. Lysik <blysik at shutterfly.com> Operations Engineer
