I had a lot of graphs for several routers, ups, etc but they seem to be rather hosed. It looks like the data that was transferred is graphed well but no new data is going in correctly. It seems that any script sending data in a status message is not working. I suspect due to the formatting.
Hobbit does handle all of the graphs that LARRD knew about, and a few more. However, it is quite likely that you installed a script that sends in messages with a different format, that Hobbit does not understand.
One example is bb-xsnmp.pl script. I am using against routers, switches and apc ups. Using an APC ups as an example I get this in the web page:
Tue Apr 5 09:23:03 2005
green UPS Temperature: 37? C
bb-xsnmp.pl Version: 1.78
I suppose that shows up in a column labelled "temperature" ?
Hobbit does know about "temperature" reports, but it assumes that are formatted differently than what bb-xsnmp.pl sends (You can see what it expects in the hobbitd/larrd/do_temperature.c file).
If you can send me a sample of the status-messages that bb-xsnmp.pl generates, I can probably tweak Hobbit's RRD modules to recognize those reports. The best way of getting those data is to run
~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdlog HOSTNAME.COLUMN" >COLUMN.txt
since that preserves any formatting (tabs, newlines etc) that the report uses.
