OK, so I've finally delved into the murky waters (ok so I had to make that sound scary and all fearsome and what not LOL) of writing my own Hobbit server extension script. And as part of the script, it collects data. I want to graph that data on hobbit. So I set up the NCV stuff... problem is that it doesn't create the RRD file correctly. Here's the relevant entries from hobbitserver.cfg:
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperat ure,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,qstat=ncv"
This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column webpage,
and the order in which they appear.
GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,netstat,mrtg::1,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail, mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,qstat"
Ok these columns are from qstat and are used to graph (I HOPE!) the
columns via rrd.
NCV_qstat="avgping:GAUGE,curplayers:GAUGE"
And that status message that gets sent is this:
qstat status for host 123.123.123.123 curplayers : 0 avgping : 0
IE my ext script does this:
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date
${MSG} curplayers : $cur_players avgping : $avg_ping"
Where $MSG can be changed depending on circumstances.
However, when I dump the RRD file, I get this info:
<!-- Round Robin Database Dump --> <rrd> <version> 0001 </version> <step> 300 </step> <!-- Seconds --> <lastupdate> 1133107889 </lastupdate> <!-- 2005-11-27 10:11:29 CST -->

Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong? This is on hobbit 4.1.2p1.
