Hi,

I'm running hobbit 4.1.2p1 on AIX.  I want to use ncv for graphing.  My 
self-written test returns a html table.  To get this displayed correctly, I 
send something like this to the hobbit server:

-----
</pre>
<table>
blabla
</table>
<pre>
------

This is working fine.  But adding ncv to the mix is causing problems.  Adding 
the ncv info before </pre> has the result that I have a graph, but the rest 
is cut off.  Adding ncv after <pre> means no graph and the rrd file is filled 
with 3 counters.  It looks like hobbit is parsing the <table> and some <tr> 
lines as counters.

Is it possible that the ncv modules dislikes html code in the message ?


Stef

There's a bug in NCV handling prior to 4.2+"ncv-ignoretext.patch". You
can work this around by placing your NCV data right after the first line
(the one with "status hostname.test color ...) and by specifying
explicitly what the names for data source are.

The best way is, of course, to upgrade to 4.2. The upgrade is real
smooth.
