Presumably you want this extra status? If so then you could just alter the [memory] entry in hobbitgraph.cfg to use the values in that rrd file (note: I haven't done that before but it should work)

Hello,
I wrote a script that monitors the committed memory usage of a windows server.
This script uses BBWin 0.8 client to load these values to hobbit.
The script creates a file "memcommit" in the temp file of the BBWin client. Each 30 min the values ("realmempct") are send to the Hobbit where an extra column appears on the display server.
I modified the hobbitserver.cfg,
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,... ,memcommit=ncv"
NCV_memcommit="realmempct:GAUGE"
And guess...
A file memcommit.rrd was created that designed a new graph under the value of the new test.
So far, all went fine.
However, I'm not interested in 3 or 4 separate columns for my extra memory tests though I'd like to add this extra value in the existing memory graph.
I have one restriction; my BBWin client does not allow files that contain a dot. (ex: memory.memcommit. These are not sent to the Hobbit server).
In other words, is there a way that the Hobbit server can create a memory.memcommit.rdd file instead of the memcommit.rdd and how can I avoid that the extra column memcommit is created?
Thanks in advance,
Bart
