Ok, I guess I presented the question wrong. So if it's a standard client message shouldn't I see the RRD data if I'm listening in on both status and data channels on the server?
You should.
I'm using the data from the rrd channels to feed into another product, but I'm not seeing vmstat from the standard client. There's an RRD file and a graph on the trends page showing vmstat CPU utilization but I'm not capturing that data in my file.
hobbitd_client will get the client data, hobbitd_client.c's unix_vmstat_report() function pushes the vmstat data to the data channel as $host.vmstat. If I run 'hobbitd_client --channel=data cat' I see: @@data#12492|1309426824.189933|127.0.0.1||tiger.ranger.dnsalias.com|vmstat data tiger,ranger,dnsalias,com.vmstat linux 2 0 208308 139604 75568 694120 0 0 39 93 8291 10748 25 15 59 1 @@ Regards, Buchan
