Hi,
Well, Im getting data every second now so thats good.
I was trying to just get all the same data as netstat, but for some reason, the rrd is only populated by "echo". im guessing because in the output from netstat -s, echo is the only thing that has name: number (this is an AIX box BTW) so how is hobbit doing it normally then for the rrd on the other side to work correctly?

Question about the INTERVAL setting in clientlaunch.cfg:
Per the man page (for hobbitlaunch.cfg)
The *INTERVAL* keyword defines how often this command is executed. {...} Intervals can be specified in seconds (if you just put a number there), or in minutes (5m), hours (2h), or days (1d).
So I was trying to get netstat -s working every second.
[hiflow_net] ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD /usr/local/hobbit/client/ext/hiflow_net LOGFILE=/tmp/hilog INTERVAL 1
hobbitlaunch has a built-in safety catch, so you cannot run a task more often than once every 5-10 seconds. That's to prevent it from fork-bombing your system.
If you really need that, use a wrapper around your script:
#!/bin/sh
while 1 do /usr/local/hobbit/client/ext/hiflow_net sleep 1 done
and run the wrapper-script from hobbitlaunch (without any INTERVAL setting since it keeps running).
