I have created a custom RRD script and it been working fine. Any host that sends a "license" column status with a line containing "In Use: x" will get the license usage (x) graphed. But, for some reason it won't work on a host I have that has a hostname of "license". RRD file gets created, but it's all "nan" values. Could having the exact same hostname, Dataset name, and column name cause it not to work? The only other difference in this host is it's a Windows machine instead of Unix, but the status sent to Hobbit is the same so I can't see that it would matter. Thanks!

It sounds to me like you are picking up the status line rather than the data line.
Check your RRD script again... if you are grepping/awking for a line containing license you may need to narrow your criteria :-)
It may be as simple as adding "tail -1" to make sure you only get the last occurence.
HTH, Andy.
I have verified I am getting the right data from the status by redirecting the script to a file. Somewhere between grepping the license count and putting it in the RRD file it gets lost. I'm figuring it must be because the hostname is the same as the DS name. Any other host I plug in to it works fine. Thanks
If you post the script and message content either here or directly to me, I'd be happy to take a look :-)
Andy.
