Scratch that!
The issue was related to the fact that my bb-hosts have netstat(whatever number) but you use ifstat. I found the proper graph lower down on the list.
Sorry for the trouble! :(

Hi Henrik,
Just did a fresh install of this release (renamed the old server dir, and fresh new gmake install, just copied the bb-hosts file over) and I'm unable to get any data graphed on the network traffic logs. Is there something that needs to be done first?

It's taken some time, but after a month of bug reports, debugging and last-minute enhancements there is now a release candidate of Hobbit 4.2 available on SourceForge.
You can download it from SourceForge.net by following this link: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058&release_id =431566 or browse Release Notes and ChangeLog by visiting this link: https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=431566
As far as I know, all bugs that were reported for the beta release have been resolved, with the exception of the hobbitping "flapping" for some hosts. This is still being investigated, but until that gets resolved I'd suggest that you use fping instead.
Information about problems and fixes for the release candidate will appear on the RC release info page at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/betapatches/
Apart from the bug-fixes, some enhancements and new tools were added during the betatest:
- Two new tools implement a "pull-style" collection of data from Hobbit clients - i.e. the Hobbit server contacts the clients, and pulls their data - as a supplement to the normal push-style data collection used by clients. This is typically used for hosts located in a DMZ network zone, which cannot make outbound connections to the Hobbit server. See the hobbitfetch(8) and msgcache(8) man-pages.
- A new utility hobbit-hostgraphs.cgi(1) was added, allowing you to build graphs with data from multiple hosts.
- The "Acknowledge Alert" utility has been enhanced, so you can acknowledge an alert without having to use the ack-code from an alert e-mail. This requires that you setup the bb-ack CGI to allow this, by adding the --no-pin option to CGI_ACK_OPTS in hobbitcgi.cfg.
- The "Find host" utility was enhanced so that if all hosts found appear on the same page, it sends you directly to that page.
- A new "Ghost clients" report was added, giving you quick access to the list of current ghost clients.
- Alert scripts now receive a series of environment variables with the bb-hosts configuration items for the host.
- For web tests, it is now possible for Hobbit to pretend being a specific browser, through a BROWSER tag in bb-hosts.
- Workarounds for compile-time problems on HP-UX, and LDAP runtime library problems were added.
- File checks can now be optional, i.e. they will only be performed if the file in question exists.
So ... go wild. Test it. Report bugs. And don't forget to enjoy the summer.
Regards, Henrik
