I'm with Galen. Thanks for the documentation =)

We appreciate that…too many list users forget to reply with their fix (this is a global phenomena) and the debugging steps they did so the next guy that goes looking is left wondering.

No, no…you misunderstood…I'm not saying that at all…just asking if he was pursuing that path as well.
Yes, I have posted a thread on the RRD forum (though I'm not doing a full cross-posting). I haven't gotten any responses back yet, and besides I'm not convinced it is a problem with RRD (or for that matter, Hobbit).
My main reason for updating this thread in the hobbit list is because much of it is Hobbit related (even if Hobbit itself isn't the cause).

I think a lot of us are thinking "speak for yourself, Gary" =)
I, too, enjoy a good challenge some times...but not when I'm too busy with other tasks - almost all the time =(
Heheh, since I seem to be the only one with this problem so far (or at least, the only one to post about it), I'm doing most of the responding to my own thread. Oh well, I've learned quite a bit about how Hobbit and RRD both work.
This is certainly a good challenge, since so many factors are involved in this problem. Unfortunately for me, we have people here that might try to represent this problem as a reason to get off Hobbit and use an inferior pay-ware monitoring solution. Thankfully I figured out a work-around, so I'm hoping that will buy me enough time to finally figure this one out.
...And hopefully in the mean time, I don't cause too much irrelevant noise on this mailing list, responding to my own problem ;-)

Gary,
Are you cross-posting to the rrd lists as well? Someone there may be better able to tell you where to look..or give some idea of something Henrik may need to check in the code. Most of us are rrd consumers only and even fewer see the same issue. I wish I were since I like debugging troublesome issues…much more fun than just clicking "next" when prompted or './configure && make && make install'.

To try and narrow down the problem some more, I got rid of all the old, unused rrd data files and directories in Hobbit's /data directory, and removed all the bogus data from all of them. Since the problem re-occurred, I can fairly confidently say it has nothing to do with having too many rrd files (hey, you never know).

I'm curious, is anyone else having this issue? For reference, I have attached a typical screen shot of one of the broken graphs; I think it's a better representation than an earlier screen shot I provided. If it's some bug in hobbit and/or rrdtool, I would think I'm not the only one with this problem.
